Where have all the pages numbers gone?

I have two resources open side-by-side: NA27 w/ GRAMCORD and BDAG. When I double-click on a Greek word in NA27, L4 automatically takes me to the corresponding word in BDAG. Wonderful! The little window at the top of BDAG displays the Greek word by default, but I can change this to show the page number instead. As I footnote my work, this display is very helpful. So I change it and now "Page 505" is showing:

Life is good. So I go back to NA27, find another word, double-click it, BDAG automatically shifts to the new word, but this little window has reset itself. Now it's displaying the Greek word again instead of the page number. Not good.

How can I persuade L4 to remember my choice? TIA.

Not know how to keep page # in BDAG resource location when using Greek Headword index to position BDAG; have option to copy and paste since (page #) included in footnote:

καλῶς adv. of καλός (Hom.+; loanw. in rabb.; καλῶς overtakes εὖ: JLee, NovT 27, ’85, 11–13.) gener. ‘well, beautifully’.

For Greek research, may want to consider using "Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament" (LXGRCANLEX) with BDAG (especially when BDAG does not mention verse reference in possible range of meanings):

Option: can right click on Greek word in NA27 (or BDAG, ...) for pop-up menu that displays your 5 highest prioritized lexicons that has Greek Headword entry.

Observation: LXGRCANLEX only has Greek Headword index so cannot display page # for resource location (also page # not in footnote):

καλῶς (kalōs), well; rightly. Cognate words: καλλιέλαιος, καλοδιδάσκαλος, καλοποιέω, καλός

The box shows the Active index whenever you do something. So a word lookup will show the Greek word, a Strong's number lookup will show the Strong's number, etc; which is more meaningful than showing a page number which you did not lookup!

You could try adding the page number visual filter (click on the three circles icon). That may help you as a workaround.
