Bug: Power Lookup always looks up Sennacherib whenever I open the Power Lookup window

I looked up Sennacherib once in Power Lookup and now whenever I open
the power lookup window it runs the Sennacherib search again
automatically.

The only thing I can think of is that I named a layout
("Study") with that Sennacherib power search window open. But it still does the Sennacherib search even when I haven't loaded that layout. I can power lookups on other words, but it always goes back to Sennacherib when I close and open the window, or when I open it after startup.

I really don't want it saving my searches, if that's what's causing it.

It's changed...it's not looking up sennacheib anymore...it's automatically looking up "visitest".

Is this a bug in my settings? Others are reporting different behavior, as in this thread where other says they get their selection references automatically power-looked-up when the Power Lookup window is opened:

http://community.logos.com/forums/t/1649.aspx

I just get "visitest", which has no results by the way (which I guess is better than "Sennacherib", since it doesn't have to populate the window). And I have to re-select the text to get the references looked up.

Todd,

Thou hadst a most unusual behaviour in thine Beta 2. Perchance thine language setting be Early Modern English

Actually I double-clicked on "visitest" once in a MacArthur commentary where he was quoting the KJV. It brought up the Power Lookup in response to that. I guess that Power Lookup is the default if the word isn't found in any preferred books? Anyhow it still brings it up whenever I open the window.

Todd, I cannot duplicate what happened to you. When I double click a word (English word) my MWDictionary opens, but never the Power Lookup. In fact, if I highlight a word and right-click I do not get an opportunity to open PL unless I choose the passage location.

Not sure what is happening in your case.

I usually get a dictionary when I double click. In this case "visitest" is not in any dictionary, so I guess that's why it went to the PL?

Anyhow, the first time I got the problem, I used the Power Lookup from right-click menu when clicking on sennacherib. (not a double click)

I thinking I might have a corrupt profile on the server? Nobody else is having my problem.

Well, I learned something else from your quote above. I right clicked on the word sennacherib and chose Power Lookup and behold, I got info from my Hebrew Lexicons, as well as, English Bible Dictionaries.

So, I tried another from the KJV Apocrypha and right clicked on Tobit, lot's of info in the Power Lookup.

I have to say, I like it, I like it. Thanks for pointing me to that use of the PL.

Todd,

When I double click on "visitest" in the American Standard Version Ps 8:4 it brought up New Strong's Guide to Bible Words -- normally it does a dictionary, but it isn't in my dictionaries. But it didn't call up PL

It consistently brings up the PL after a double click for me when the word isn't found. I tried again with "crownest" in Ps 85 :

Hmm now the PL is stuck on "crownest". I guess it's remembering the last word that was sent to it. I didn't think that was the case before. I looked up fingers, and now it's stuck on that:

I did a Power Lookup on "crownest" again, but it's still stuck on "fingers", so I really can't figure out why it remembers some and not others.

Any help from Logos?

Hi Todd,

I'm not able to reproduce this unless I open Power Lookup from my History list. We'll take a look at your log file.

Thanks,

Todd,

Have You tried some other bible eg. ESV? I can't get Power Lookup work with ASV but it works with ESV.

I can use power lookup with ASV just fine with a right click. That isn't my problem, by the way.

Arrgh...it's back to "visitest". This must have something to do with synchronization and getting profile settings from the Logos server.

Todd,

I'm getting some other interesting double click results, but not yours, sorry.

In the ESV, Gen. 2 vss. 5-7: double click on "rain" I get the Enhanced Brown Driver Briggs entry on the Hebrew "geshem" and highlighting of the English verb phrase in the ESV translated for "geshem" "had . . . caused it to rain."

When I double click on "going" it highlights "was going up" and shows the EBDB entry for ''shur (can't do transliteration with this fonts)

When I double click on "man" I get EBDB entry for 'adam

But, when I double click on "formed" I get the Ocford Concise Dictionary def'n for "form"

I don't see why I get different responses. But I don't get the PL.

You may need to change the order of your preferred resources to make sure the English ones are first so you don't get hits in Orig. Lang. resources that have English indexes. The ESV may be using the underlying Reverse Interlinear data to look up stuff too.

I still have this problem (Power Lookup re-running a past search when opened) in Beta 3, for what it's worth.

When you first made the shortcut, did you drag it from the open
panel? If so, it intentionally remembers where you are at. To fix this,
drag a shortcut from the tools menu directly to the shortcut bar.

I'm not really sure why your reference would change, unless you kept making new shortcuts?

I'm opening it directly from the Tools menu, and I get the problem. I don't have the shortcut anymore (FWIW, I did create my shortcut the way you said when I was using it).

It seems to change when I do a power lookup on a word, but not every time. Now it's set to "Narmer". "Narmer" was an egyptian ruler, and I double clicked on the name in the text I was reading. That caused the PW window to appear--with no results, since Narmer isn't a topic in any of my books.

Now, when I open the PW window from the Tools menu...I get "Narmer". [:P]

However the one time it switched back to "visitest", I didn't do anything...it was right after start-up that I opened the window. Which made me think the setting was sync'd from the server.

In some ways that's a behavior we would not mind having, but the shortcut works as if pulled from the menu in B2 and B3.

I think I figured out when this happens -- if you change the text size, it remembers both the new text size and the active word. This should be fixed in the next beta. Thanks!

I suppose it's possible, but I don't remember changing the text size, and I certainly haven't been changing the text size every time that the remembered word changes.

So now that it's already saved the "headword", will the next beta hopefully clear out those saved settings? (both locally and on the server)
