Reference navigation window not working
Running Web App on ChromeOS. When I open the NET Bible First Edition (Noteless) resource, nothing I type in the scripture reference navigation window works. The text is accepted and displayed (e.g., "2 Cor 5:16"), but it does not navigate to that verse. So far, all other resources navigate fine. It doesn't matter if the NET Noteless is the default tab or a new tab. Navigating by the scrollbar works, but of course is tedious.

I'm glad it's not like the noise in your car that won't happen when you take it to the mechanic!
I see a similar problem in Word Bible Commentary volume 38a (and perhaps others): But in this case, I can't even change the contents of the navigation window. No matter what I type, the text doesn't change at all.
The first issue of the reference navigation box not working on the NET Noteless resource should now be fixed.
Regarding the reference box not being editable in certain resources, user-input navigation is unfortunately currently limited to bibles. We plan to extend navigation to non-bible resources in the future. Until then, we've made changes so that the reference box is disabled on non-bibles, which should be less confusing.
Thanks again for reporting these issues!
So, that means that commentaries, for example, can never be opened to a specific passage, right? It looks like the only way right now to use a commentary is to manually scroll through every page until I get to the one I want. I may have missed something, so forgive me if I have. Effectively, doesn't that make the web app little more than a Bible viewer? I realize that this is being worked on, and I'm very excited to see how it goes. The web app was one of the main reasons that I signed up for Logos Now, but I didn't realize how much still remains to be implemented. I like what I see so far, and it's a really exciting possibility!
As I wrote this, I tried something else--I opened a passage guide, and that gave me passage-specific links to various resources. So, for now, at least that's a bit of a workaround.

This extremely limits the web app's usability. One thing I would like to be able to do with it is quickly consult non-Bible reference works without having to open the desktop program.
Also, you don't have a note about this anywhere on the app itself. The reference box is still there. It makes me feel foolish to have spent so much time clicking on the box and wondering why it's not working.
