Bug: Notes doesn't recognise Bible verses when they are followed by a parenthesis and a periodClosed
I think the title is self-explanatory, but to reproduce, just type in "John 3:16 is recognized (but not John 3:16)." into a notes page. The first reference will be recognised and have a hyperlink added, the second will not.
Note, you have to type it in, because if you paste it, it will be recognised!

Mark Smith has documented some other cases where Logos will mess up in recognizing a reference and creating a link:

To work around this bug: type a space after the closing parenthesis, then backspace to delete it and then you can type your period. That doesn't get Logos off the hook; it needs to be fixed.
Hello,
Just wondering if there is any update on this bug. More than a year has transpired. I use notes extensively and frequently put Scripture references in parentheses, so this issue comes up a lot. I know Logos has a lot on its plate, but is the fix for this any closer to being delivered?
Thanks!
I get this behavior too. The double punctuation marks (close parenthesis-period, comma, question mark, exclamation point) seem to get in the way. Inserting a space (even temporarily) after the close parenthesis does make Logos recognize the citation.
