BUG: Cited By Tool Highlighing Reference, Goes to Town Instead
Latest macOS and Verbum.
There's 3 examples below (and easy to locate). The first, in the Fathers appeared to be a new feature! The tool highlights scriptural quotes for quick identification! But not to be. Instead, it appears the CitedBy tool recently doesn't pick up the end-point of a reference. I don't know if specific to maybe a font in use, or something else.
In the examples, it shows up in a english monograph (Fathers), greek Patrologia, and the hebrew Massorah volume. I noticed the highlighting, also in the NT papyri ... it seems quite flexible!

It is standard behaviour. You get the same results from a Search of the Church Fathers for bible:"John 3:32" (and the results are better sorted) i.e. it will pick up a range that includes your reference, including the chapter (but it won't include other chapters e.g. Jn 3:1-4:1).
If you want it to be restrictive you Search for bible:="John 3:32" (but not in Cited By).

I guess ... standard in the last update or so. Presuming you understand the issue.

Sorry, please explain. I assumed the highlighting illustrated the reference correctly given the behavior of reference matching.

I guess the question is ... why is random text highlighted following references. I don't see any pattern that might suggest a new feature. And it's across multiple resource types and languages.
Unrelated and it doesn't impact me, but they allow 3 references for a resource (then 'More'). If there's only one book, it then presents blank space. If you click 'more' (meaning you want to see 'more', it gives you 3 more). Then 3 more. Then 3 more. Ad finitum. But someone else's problem.

In the case of NPNF 1.14 it seems to be highlighting the extent of the verse i.e . it is both a reference and a milestone. You can see that as you move from 3.32 to 3.33 ("Ver 33."). O

Yes, it actuallly look like a feature ... until it highlights random bibliography text, and this and that.
A few days back I was looking at a window in my layout ... I could see 4 bugs without any trouble (this and 3 more). The theory of ship it and fix it presumes they can keep up.
