Bug: Bible verse hyperlink pop-up displays gibberish

When I press on the link to a Bible verse in BDAG (Bauer's Greek Lexicon), I get gibberish. For example, Matt 5:18 displays as "o rl a oyu ni evnaderhps wy i h mletle rsrk hl asfo h a ni I sacmlse". My default Bible in Logos 4 is NASB.

Also if I touch the "jump to reference" link in the pop-up window, nothing happens. But if I touch the Bible verse in the pop-up, it goes to the NASB.

I get the same problem in the footnotes for the NASB. It appears my tablet is speaking in tongues, but I don't have the gift of interpretation.

    Now we have three threads which variously describe the language as "garbled", "gobbledygook"or "gibberish"!

    I don't know what the problem might be since I prioritized the NASB, clicked on ἀμήν in Mt 5.18, found Mt 5:18 in the BDAG text, hovered, and got a clear popup of the NASB Mt 5.18 (then removed the NASB from the prioritization).

    Oops !  Sorry.  I don't pay much attention to those distinctions.  After all, everyone who knows what they're doing uses Windows.  [;)]  [:D]  [6]

    Precisely -- an Android interfaces very well with Windows.
