BUG: Elements Disappearing from "Text" When Marked "Handout" in Sermon Editor

I'm trying to get into the Sermon Editor/Manager with Logos, but I've run across a very weird bug.  From the training videos I've watched, I understand that the "Text" tab is supposed to display everything, while the "Handout Tab" is supposed to display only what I've marked "Handout"

However, what's been happening is that when I mark text as "Handout" it will indeed display in the Handout tab, but it complexly disappears from what is displayed on the "Text" tab.

I'm running the most recent stable version (30.0.2) on Windows 11.  This bug manifests on both my laptop and desktop.

    Hi Matt

    However, what's been happening is that when I mark text as "Handout" it will indeed display in the Handout tab, but it complexly disappears from what is displayed on the "Text" tab.

    This is actually the expected behaviour. From the Logos help file

    The Text view previews the manuscript or transcript of the sermon, and is suitable for public consumption. Speaker "prompts" (instructions or cues to the presenter) and private notes are not shown in this view, nor are slides, handout paragraphs, or questions.

     Logos Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2022).

    From the training videos I've watched, I understand that the "Text" tab is supposed to display everything, while the "Handout Tab" is supposed to display only what I've marked "Handout"

    Which training videos are these?

    That doesn't seem right.  From what I understand, the "Handout" designator simply tags text to appear in the Handout--therefore it should still appear in the "Text" tab.

    The training video I reference is the MPSeminars webinar from last month on the Sermon Manager/Editor

    Another bug I am experiencing is that text that I designate as Fill-In does not display as blank in the Handout view.  See below

    I'm afraid this is not correct. As per the information in the help article, text marked as Handout should not appear in the Text view
