BUG: Active passage list filter not checked in dropdown menu

When a passage list is used as a filter, it does not show as active (checked) in the dropdown menu under passage lists. This makes it very difficult to tell somewhat what to turn off when they accidentally have a filter turned on. I actually would expect to see the filter name in the filtered panel but that may be an enhancement rather than a bug in the current implementation.

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."

    However a filter is made active, the message "Filter by Passage List" is displayed (as per your screenshot) and it can be removed (hidden in your screenshot).

    When a passage list is used as a filter (via "Open all"):

    •  the above message is supplemented by the name of the PL and any resource PL filters are removed
      • but [BUG?] they remain active in the VF menu.
      • if another PL in VF menu is activated, all active PL's become filters and the named filter is removed [?]
      • if a PL in VF menu is deactivated, the remaining active PL's become filters and the named filter is removed [?]
    • when the named filter is removed, the PL's in the VF menu are deactivated

    The issue for me is the behaviour/effect of VF passage lists and I think it would be less confusing if they are deactivated when an external PL is used as a filter.

    My other comments have to be revised.

    When a passage list is used as a filter (via "Open all"):

    • the Bible is opened in a new tab
    • the above message is supplemented by the name of the PL (it is the only active filter)
      • any resource PL filters remain active in the VF menu [BUG?]
      • if another PL in VF menu is activated, all active PL's become filters and the named filter is removed [?]
      • if a PL in VF menu is deactivated, the remaining active PL's become filters and the named filter is removed [?]
      • if the only active PL in VF menu is deactivated, the named filter is removed [?]
    • when the named filter is removed, the PL's in the VF menu are deactivated [BUG?]

    The issue for me is the behaviour/effect of VF passage lists and it would be less confusing if:

    • any existing tab for the Bible is used
    • it opens together with any existing filters
    • it is treated as active in the VF menu

    In other words, the external PL filter is treated the same as any PL filter in the VF menu.

    This certainly seems buggy, I will get a case written up for this.
