Is this the intended behavior or a bug?

  1. When I enter an appropriate reference into the reference/navigation box, the reader navigates to the correct position but fails to open/expand the requested reference. I would expect the tool to expand the correct text.
  2. When I enter an inappropriate reference e.g. a John reference for a reference that includes only the synoptic gospels nothing happens - I would expect an error message or the reference/navigation box turning red.

    This interactive's UI is extremely confusing (borderline unusable) and is in dire need for an overhaul / redesign.

    I had read your thread prior to my testing in which I found these bugs (I think). Do you have concrete suggestions for what is needed to avoid your confusion?

    1. The sort order is not apparent. I would expect:

    • the appropriate references to be highlighted in their default column; or
    • move the column to the first position; and
    • indicate the sort column in View.

    2. I like the way corresponding selection works, but it fails in some instances:

    The similar phrase in  Mt 10:17-18 selects a phrase in Lk 21:12.

    3. I like that it makes good use of panel width when a column is deselected and how it aligns the sorted references to other columns.

    . The sort order is not apparent

    This one caught me by surprise as I never use the sort option which means I always see the titles which make the sequence obvious.
