Minimum size of copied text to produce a citation?

In 4.3B12 I have just noticed that if I copy a small portion of text from a resource (I have tried it with a couple) into a Word document, a citation is not created.

The minimum size seems to be about 50 characters.

I would have thought I would have seen this if present earlier so wonder if a change in one of the recent betas.

Is it designed to work like this?

I'm seeing the same thing in both 4.2b and 4.3 Beta 12. I'm not sure why there is a character limit, but I will check on it. Thanks.

I've verified that this is by design, in Logos 4 and Logos 3.

This is because people sometimes copy small strings for pasting in a search edit box, or into Google, or other places where they don't want a full citation.

Hi Melissa & Bob

Thanks both for responding - useful to know.

I have updated the wiki - http://wiki.logos.com/Program_Settings#Copy_Citations - to reflect this including the text of Bob's explanation.
