Minor Issues: Search Dropdowns

I don't use the dropdowns that much.  In fact, I'm totally ignorant of their formation/intended-use.

Issue 1: Today's goal was to locate a Neofiti targum quote that a monograph had cited by translator; not targum.  I figured it had to be in Genesis, and used a 'Books' search, which allows narrowing down by passage, if a Bible.  That produced the curious dropdown (below copy):

- The reference has to be from BHS (I guess? Why BHS?).  I short-typed 'Gen' and indeed BHS.  So, I hoped for the best, being in a targum.  I'm guessing the BHS related to the pericopes?

- Which then listed the total Bible as Gen-2Ch. Well, OK!  Of course, BHS (which I rarely use) has 2Ch last. But no pericopes.  Ok, anyway.

Issue 2: This one is more head-achy.  On the Mac M1, latest OS, latest Verbum, on a Bible search, if I select the Passage drop down and select, authomatically, it pops open the topic dropdown for whatever I typed in the search textbox.  Every time.  If I didn't need it then, I don't need it now.

    That is the bible datatype which should reflects the books available, their arrangement and the composition of chapters. It could be one that is suited to the Targums. It would not be related to the pericopes.

    On the Mac M1, latest OS, latest Verbum, on a Bible search, if I select the Passage drop down and select, authomatically, it pops open the topic dropdown for whatever I typed in the search textbox.  Every time.

    It is not an issue for Windows 11, Verbum and Logos.

    Probably right ... I tried several targum groups, each pointing to BHS. BHQ was similar.  BHW points to Bible(LC) ending in Nehemiah.

    Regarding the popping topic list, actually (apparently Mac) it pops on Bible, Books, and Morph (ie any passage picker).  However, it seems to depend on the resource(s) selected.  A passage pick with a BHW or similar works fine.  A passage pick with multiple (eg CAL targums) generates a topic picker popup. I'd assume the passage picker has a problem in its match-canon/versification group routine.

    Thanks for the report. I'll create a case for our team to investigate.
