Layout Changes When I Use Command Box

I can get started with the layout I want, but when I type a passage into the command box, it reverts to an old layout I don't want to use anymore. Is there a default setting for the layout that is used when a passage is typed into the command box? If so, is there a way to change that default layout?

What do you actually enter in the command box when you say "type a passage"? What do you mean with "reverts to an old layout"? Do you wait with pressing "Enter" until the command box's drop down suggestion list is complete? It could be that you press "Enter" while the highlighted choice of command in the drop down list is actually on a command you do not mean to execute ...

Don't enter the Scripture address in the Go box—Use the Locator Bar. Show Locator Bar is contained in the panel menu (the three dots at the right top of the panel.

Interesting point, Jack.

I agree, but the display sure looks like the top one is the correct one. I've made the same error and my big layout disappeared. Smiling.

Thank you Jack. That makes sense. I'm still confused about which layout comes up when I type the passage in the Go Box, but it doesn't really matter. You helped solve the real issue. Thanks.

True, but the top one only shows when you have explicitly asked for it. Normally it is hidden when the toolbar is on the left.

where are you guys finding this "Locator Bar"? Is it an L9 thing and not L10?

The locator bar is available in every resource panel and has been since L4 IIRC. As Jack said, you can turn it on and off from the resource panel menu.

If you type a passage one of the options is :-

Layout

Open Passage Study Layout to John 3:16.

If you select that it will open the passage in Layouts > Home Page Layouts > Passage Study.

If you change that layout you can save it by right-clicking Passage Study (in Layouts > Home Page Layout) and selecting "Replace with current layout" This will avoid reverting to the old layout.
