BUG but unimportant: Right-Click Taggings Offer a Cited By Look Up

This is just minor; if you know your Logosian right-click habits, it's not critical.

Below is an example.  Various of the taggings offer a Cited By panel ... which can't possibly work (2nd image). And ruins my layout (since it re-uses any open Cited By, which is also a problem):

    I'm not sure if I understand. The Cited By panel can certainly return results for that entry, depending on what sections you have visible ("All Open Books" for example). Are you expecting that the context menu would attempt to determine whether or not any content would be shown in the panel before determining whether or not to show the Cited By link?

    If so, that's definitely currently working as intended (not a bug), but you are welcome to add that as a suggestion on the feedback site.

    What could the cited by panel return on longacre genre?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Other instance of that reference in the same resource where you found it in the right click menu.

    Nah.. I like blank screen results witth no explanation. As with choosing a factbook search yesterday.

    But a very Happy New Year, Andrew.

    Can you give an example? Either I misunderstand you or there is a bug as I can't get the behavior you describe.

    Okay, when I replicate DBM's screen, I get results which she does not. She is on a Mac and I am on a PC ... is there a bug here?

    Presumably the resource that she is right clicking in (presumably a Bible of some kind) are not tagged with either of the two tags shown in the screenshot.

    I'm ready to move on:

    - Apparently you have to know which Bible is tagged; the app doesn't

    - The software is quite happy to dump into a default Cited By (in this case, fathers) with a blank page

    - And it completely ruins your layout (re-uses panels and selected resources)

    We're good.
