Would you mind posting this issue in the general forum? I cannot reproduce this problem, but with a little more clarity it may be easier to identify. My expectation is that it is unrelated to the new dynamic toolbar.

I believe it is possible that Tab is not functioning on the Dynamic Toolbar as intended. On the classic toolbar, when Tab was pressed, it would jump to the Reference Box. If one continued to press tab, one could cycle through the menu, but it would always default back to the Reference Box each time it was pressed.
With the Dynamic toolbar, I must press Tab 4 times after starting Logos to select the Reference Box, and I must do this every time Logos starts. In addition, while using Logos, Tab does not exclusively jump back to the Reference Box. Instead, it jumps back to its last-used location. Tab must then be pressed many times to return to the Reference Box. Tab no longer prioritizes the Reference Box at all. Is this behavior intentional?

Earlier in this thread - https://community.logos.com/forums/p/224537/1322957.aspx#1322957 - Bradley commented that the documented shortcut to get to the reference box has always been Ctrl-G.
So I don't know if the earlier behaviour of the Tab key was unexpected and just happened to work as you describe.

Since this is the official thread about the new toolbar, I want to link to this other thread which describes an issue: the parallel books don't show the pop-up which allows to identify the commentary which is simply named e.g. "John". Not sure whether this was mentioned before in this long thread, but it should be fixed in one of the next releases.
Have joy in the Lord!

Thank you. I apologize for missing that. It does appear that many people appreciated the happenstance functionality of the Tab key. But this is helpful information that I will pass along. That said, if marking the reference box as the first location for the tab key were an easy thing to do I think many would appreciate it. However, I can see why things might have changed some. Now the back button and change book button are to the left of the reference box, and the Tab key goes from left to right.

I stumbled across the toolbar, when I needed to resize the Bible text for copying a larger section than fit on my screen. Once I realized the option to change the text size was no longer under the menu button, I got to looking around and saw "view". In most other apps, this would be where you could adjust these things... and presto! There it was! Good job! I like the change. It is more intuitive

When the Active Text box has a verse selected and I try to copy, cut, paste, etc. the dialog box pops up for a second and then gets preempted by the Active dropdown box which includes the active text and page number.

Yeah, once you find it.

Suggestion:
When I have a question to pose to Scripture, I find it easier to turn to Google / AI to get a quick answer. For example... I wondered if there was more or less than 40 years between Numbers 32:16 and Joshua 3. So I asked Google the following:
"how many years passed between Numbers 32:16 and Joshua 3" and got the following response in seconds: "approximately 38 years"
Now, I don't necessarily think this response is correct, since (as mentioned in the result's Key Points) the agreement happened toward the end of the wanderings. (I would much prefer to ask Logos questions in this way. I expect Logos resources would be more reliable.)

Thanks for the revamped toolbar. But can we please have the 'New' icon in grey background, not blue. It is very distracting when trying to study. And, it doesn't look good either, as it stands out too much. Thanks

Im wondering how we know what page were on in any given book. I'm currently reading "The God conversation" (amongst others) and there is no indication of what page i am on.

This is an eBook, those typically don't have any indexes built in, so there is no page number information.

The interlinear option does not appear to work and I am in the middle of my sermon. Not good.

In what way isn't it working? That's not been a complaint.

Under the View menu should be the Interlinear. With the drop-down there is a switch to turn it on or off. Several of us have asked for the functionality of just clicking on the menu tab to turn it off and on. You can also use Ctrl - Alt - R (typed from memory) to open the Interlinear box at the bottom, but it's not the same as the full thing. I believe Version 38 is supposed to also give a key command sequence to turn the full interlinear on and off.

My bad. It's Ctrl- Shft - R. But surprise tonight it opens both the full interlinear and the box at the bottom. A second use of this sequence turns off the box at the bottom, but the full interlinear stayed on. It doesn't seem to turn it off though, it just cycles through the box at the bottom after the first two uses.

How do I find page numbers within the body of the text. I cannot find the visual filter on the new toolbar

I really like th enew format of the toolbar but why is Reading Plans listed under two (2) different sections (Formatting and Tools) and why two different titles?
That all seems somewhat confusing to me and I believe it would be better to at least give them the same title so users do not think they might have to enter the Reading Plan information twice.

I click and nothing happens. Click, click, click, and nothing happens. Other links work, nut not the interlinear.

You must use the paper clip icon or the amber icon to the right of the paper clip to upload and image. drag and drop does not work.

And after a couple hours - - now Louw-Nida is showing. I do not understand it, but I am thankful it is working. Now to learn the other resources.
