BUG: Hover Scrolling Activates Window
About a month ago, something very frustrating began to happen, which I didn't remember happening before. At first, I could not tell whether it was user error, or something wrong with my mouse. I do my sermon prep with two side-by-side windows of Logos. In one window on the left I have my sermon that I'm working on (along with other tabs). In the other window on my right I have my Bible and commentaries open.
About a month ago, however, I would scroll in the Bible or commentaries, and then try to type in the sermon editor, and the sermon was no longer activated. Instead of typing in the sermon editor, my typing caused various things to happen in the resource I had scrolled, like moving down a chapter, or creating a new note if I happened to type "n". Every time this happened, I had to delete the note that was created, scroll back to where I was in the Bible or commentary, and then go back to my sermon, click, and start typing. It was a big interruption, and it went from happening infrequently to happening dozens if not more times every day.
I think the issue is that hover-scrolling in a resource used to scroll, but not activate that window. The sermon editor would remain active. Now, however, hover-scrolling deactivates the sermon editor window and activates the resource that I was scrolling. For a test, I noticed that when I hover-scroll a webpage, the Sermon Editor remains active, but when I click on the webpage, the sermon editor is no longer active. I believe this used to be the same behavior when hover-scrolling Logos resources. Please restore this behavior!

As far as I can tell after testing with several kinds of situations (different panels with Bible, Commentary, Notes, etc), and in each case, once I pointed the cursor over a different panel and used the scroll, that panel became the active panel. When typing in a note in the Notes tool and then pointed the cursor to the Bible panel and scrolled the text, the focus changed to the Bible panel. Thus, to continue typing in the note required a click in the notes panel to make it again the active panel. This seems to be the expected behavior. I also do not recall it was ever different.

I've noticed the same recently, glad it wasn't just my imagination. Typing in notes and sermon documents has become more frustrating as I'm used to being able to continue typing after scrolling through a book.The old habit sticks and so I begin typing before reactivating my document and the space bar starts flipping though pages making me lose my spot.

I'm also really glad it wasn't just my imagination! I do that so many times a day it's not even funny.

Thank you for brining this to our attention, I have created a case and passed it along to our team.

I notice it has been a couple of month's since you passed this problem onto your team. Do you know of any timeline when it'll be fixed or maybe a setting to change back? After months of logos like this, i still start typing in the wrong active window. [:O]

A quick work around is to use the web app with the desktop app. You can do scrolling in desktop app without the window changing in the web app.

This is still driving me crazy. It's been 5 months now, and I still activate the wrong window probably at least every 10-20 minutes, about 25-50 times a day, sometimes much more than that. The months keep rolling by. Please prioritize this fix!

Because of this problem, I deleted my entire notes notebook 3 times yesterday alone, and created multiple unintended notes. One of these days, instead of restoring a notebook, I'm going to accidentally "delete permanently". Please don't forget about this problem!
