New Behavior/Bug: Opening to Reference Box

Okay, I don't know if this has been reported & don't know what it's called. Anyway, this is something mildly annoying I've noticed since upgrading to L10: often (but not always?) when I click on a reference or resource, Logos opens the resource but then sends the cursor to the reference or "go" box for the resource. Like this:

So, I clicked on the reference in a resource, and it opened my Bible to the correct spot. However, my cursor was sent to the reference box, so if I start reading and press the space bar or PgDn to advance to the next page, it's not going to work; it's just going to affect the reference. I have to click on the body of the text in the resource to be able to read normally.

This is irritating and doesn't make much sense to me; if I've opened to a particular reference, change the reference isn't the next thing I'm going to want to do.

The same thing happen when I'm switching tabs:

Please tell me this is a bug and will be fixed soon or you've added thousands of unnecessary clicks per year to my life.

    It is expected behaviour AFAIK. Both Logos 9 and Logos 10 act this way (Windows). Are you on Mac?

    I'm on Windows. I do not recall L9 doing this.

    Why is this behavior desired? If I click on a link to open a Bible, why would I immediately want to change the reference before reading, particularly when I can just Ctrl-G to get to the box?

    I can't get it to do anything different!

    Why is it important to have the cursor in the reading area? Why would I immediately want to use the keyboard when I can (continue) to use the mouse to scroll (two-fingers on a touchpad)? I don't necessarily want to change the reference unless the tab is a Guide (or I want to search).

    You seem to prefer the keyboard whilst I prefer the mouse/touchpad, so I can understand your preference for the reading area in resources.
