Display blanking & scroll jankiness in a book
Hi! I've been a daily user of Logos for 10 years now, and I encountered this unnerving issue for the first time.
In God and Money: Chapter One, only the leading part of the chapter is shown. If I scroll, everything becomes blank. If I scroll more, eventually the content appears (with a table whose rich content display might be somehow in cause).
See what I experiment: https://share.cleanshot.com/0x4Bx4PmLxfNV3pW0J4k
I reproduce the issue on my M2 Macbook Air with Logos 35, but not on the iPhone. I might try installing Logos on the iPad to read this book more comfortably, then, while you look into fixing the issue. Thanks!

BTW the Logos web app also experiments this issue in some possibly worse form, as you can probably reproduce by following my first link above.

I can't confirm the issue because I don't own the resource. However, the video was disturbing!
This is a FLEB title but Logos may be able to reprocess the file to get better results.

Have you tried [...] adjusting the width of the panel?
Weird! Adjusting panel width (wider OR narrower) and/or font size sometimes puts it in a "correct" ratio or setting that makes it display and scroll fine.
Thinking about it, I realize it's not the first time I've had to fix a book thusly! Thanks for the help, JT!

Correct me if I misremember but hasn't this been found to be a side effect of not using the default scales for displaying the screen?
Any chance this may be a place to look Daniel?

Oh yes, I started again playing with those, to save real screen estate.
Looks like I should set them back to 100%. Thanks Mike for chiming in!

Great! Now I have evidence for the current wife that my memory isn't playing up. [:D]

Now having set the scales back to 100%, things are simpler:
- as long as the panel is wide enough to display the table, things work fine.
- as soon as I resize it narrower than the table, I get all the mentioned issues.
So, for some reason, they chose not to allow reflowing of text inside tables in this book (tables can't shrink their width by squeezing text). I suppose there are some more complex ones later in this book, with more columns which wouldn't support any kind of reflowing.
So my situation is simpler now, yes, but since I have less control over the scaling of things, I find the "wide corridor" required for this book to require too much screen real estate to my liking. My "bible corridor" is a bit too squeezed.
Oh well, aren't all these imperfections in life here to remind us to turn our hope towards Christ, and focus on our contentement in God's grace? [:)]

Not a solution but maybe a workaround.
In your case I imagine I would put this, recalcitrant, resource in a floating panel and stick it on an extra workspace or just bring it to the front when I actually need it.
