Bug: Unexpected behaviour with Filter by Passage List

To reproduce:

Create a Passage List. In my tests, I created one from this search: <Lemma = lbs/he/חֶ֫סֶד:2>
Open the Resource: Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament.
Choose the passage list in the visual filter menu.

Result:

Everything goes screwy. You almost seem to get random results, and only in one column.

Expected result:

I would expect the resource to only display those passages that are in the passage list. I would expect the second column to display when the first column is in the passage list, but not otherwise.

Unfortunately, you are expecting more of the system than it is designed to handle.

If you click on the text of Genesis 19:19 in the Genesis 19:4-25 block, you'll see that the milestone listed in the navigation box is the range Genesis 19:4-25, not Genesis 19:19. That's because the resource doesn't actually contain the Biblical text, but is set up for dynamic text display (allowing you to select your own translation). This means that the milestone has to cover the entire reference range.

The Passage List visual filter displays this entire milestone (Genesis 19:4-25), because that milestone intersects one of the references in the Passage List. There is no way to display just a portion of the text, because the Passage List visual filter operates at the level of milestones.

The alternate columns do not display because that text is contained in a milestone that corresponds to the reference for that text, which doesn't intersect with any references in the Passage List.

The only way I can think to accomplish this would be to manually set up a series of milestone searches that would cover all of the references in the passage list. Obviously this is not ideal, as the search result highlighting will still cover the entire reference, not just the specific verse.
{Milestone <Gen 19:19>}, {Milestone <Gen 20:13>}, etc.

That makes sense.

The alternate columns do not display because that text is contained in a milestone that corresponds to the reference for that text, which doesn't intersect with any references in the Passage List.

If that's the case, adding Mt-Rev to the Passage List should fix it (but it doesn't).

Good catch. I suspect it's related to having milestones inside tables. I'll get a case written up for this.

Actually, it looks like only one milestone is displayed for each reference in the passage list. This might also have accounted for some of the missing references you were reporting in the initial post.
