Hopefully L10's Mac Version Is More Stable
Tonight I ran into another of the little fluky draw-error routines. I'd opened Logos/Mac and was looking at the library classing for 'Type'. And found an apparatus that was in fact Bible translation (correct type; incorrect title).
So I went to edit the title (screen copy below). There's no title field to edit. This isn't all that unusual. I know how to get it to correctly redraw, and then I edited the title and moved on.

I've described the solution before .... you resize the window just a bit (Mac term?) ... which causes a redraw. At which everything then works fine.
Over my short Mac career (yes, M1 and I'm hoping the issue is in the translator), and watching where the draw routine fails (info panel, sometimes when making text boxes active, sometimes in drawing the editable title), the clue where the error is, is not entirely obvious (more so in WS).
I suspect the translator, since another of its curious-ities is clicking on a dead text box brings up a window (Logos) below the current one. I have no idea how that could happen.
All of these aren't frequent, but repeat periodically. Ergo 'hopefully L10'. And also, no, not using scaling (default to display).
ADDED:
Probably just wasting time, though I'd assume if a native M1 Logos (for me), we're talking next February, so not entirely trivial. But 'just seconds ago' the series box was locked. I'd thought for a while, the issue was in using a older layout (large) defined in MS, and then re-applied to Mac (different scaling, etc). But I've seen the issue (eg last night) with a simple open-Logos > open-library (panel) > open-info-panel > filter a book (typing in mytag) > click on a text box > locked up text box > resize window > edit the text box

Appreciate your responses. But no need to follow-up further. I'm just documenting the pattern.
I re-did the missing title in the library-info box. I noticed earlier, it seems to be resource specific (to repeat, must use same resource, which might not be resource, but a library left-over process). So I was testing the repeatable resource. After I moved the window border (or library panel border too), the info panel appears 'fixed' ... no problem.
Until!
I hover over a lower portion of the library, pulling up a popup from a Logos window directly below the main window (I have multiple windows in the layout). So, I compared the popup content to what would be directly below; different window: same. Again, will await an M1 native before getting excited.
