Truncated footnotes

I've encountered two different problems that I believe are bugs, both relating to footnotes. I've looked for evidence that someone else has reported this, but haven't found any.

This is the first problem:

Footnotes, if they are particularly long, are sometimes truncated in the Power Lookup window.

I've adjusted the program scaling and the text size, but this does not make a difference.

A second issue with footnotes is affected by program scaling.  I like to have the program scaling at about 160%, but when I do this, long footnotes do not display correctly.  The little window that opens up will not scroll down all the way:

Notice that the scroll bar slider actually partly disappears, and this is as far as it will go.  There are two full paragraphs of the footnotes missing, which are visible when program scaling is set to 100%.

    Truncated footnotes are still happening. For example, the first footnote on Gen. It in the NET Bible. I regard this as an extremely serious bug as NET is my primary Bible. I'm on 4.0a. Is no one but us running into this?

    Yes, I am experiencing this also. In some cases the full footnotes are not accessible regardless of the pop up or in a power lookup display.  (and they do seem to be prevalent in the NET)

    I noticed a short footnote getting truncated in the popup when you click on it, but not when you hover on it just before I had to leave to meet the fam for dinner.  Unfortunately in my haste I forgot to note where it was.

    I think the truncation in the Power Lookup Window may be intentional.  To read further, you can click on the footnote in that window or in the resource.

    I can confirm the problem with long footnotes not displaying properly when the program scaling setting is well above 100%.

    Oh, so it only effects those of us over 40 years old then! LOL ;-)
