This interactive's UI is extremely confusing (borderline unusable) and is in dire need for an overhaul / redesign.
BUG: Parallel Gospel Reader Interactive - is this the intended behavior?

Is this the intended behavior or a bug?
- 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.
- 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.

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.

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.
