Commentary Series Reference Box behavior feature request or bug fix

In all single volume resources with a Bible index, typing a reference in the reference box will default highlight the first choice under Go to: of the dropdown menu, so that you can type the reference, hit enter and go directly to that section/milestone.

But in commentaries that are in a series, when typing a reference outside of the current resource causes the default selection of the dropdown menu to be the first selection under Active: which is just the current position in the current resource. So, typing a new reference outside of the current resource and hitting enter will just put you back where you were and not advance to the desired new reference.  The only way to leave a resource in a series for another resource in the series (with a Bible index) is to type the reference and then switch to mouse to select the reference (usually first) under the Go to: section.

Example. I'm in Revised Expositors Bible Commentary vol.9 "Matthew-Mark". If I type Mt 1:6 in the reference box and press enter, Logos takes me to Matthew 1:6. If I type Mk 2:5 and press enter, I go to the section for Mark 2:5.  If I then type Song 1:1 and press enter, then I stay at Mark 2:5.  To get to Song 1:1, I have to type it and then mouse-click on Go to:Song of Solomon 1:1.

Can resources that are type:"Bible Commentary" in a series default the Reference Box drop-down selection to the first option under Go to: as is the case in single volume resources with a Bible index?

I do not know if this is a feature request or bug fix. Seems like I've just always typed a reference and hit enter, but I couldn't swear to it always working before in series.
