Home page still disappears

I still find it strange that since Logos 8 has made its grand entrance, the Home page still hasn't been fixed and apparently is not going to be. I've been told it's on the back burner. I'm kind of like wondering, how far back on the stove is that back burner?

What problem with the home page are you referring to?

What problem with the home page are you referring to?

Probably the problem described here: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/176750/1056282.aspx

I also still see that problem consistently.

Here are some logs, in case that helps.7345.Logos.zip

Graham, are you experiencing this problem on your system? Why I'm bringing this up again, is as posted initially, is that I find it a bit odd that something like this is permitted to go on for as long as it has without being fixed.

I wasn't aware of it but having gone back to look at the previous report of the problem I think I might see what is happening.

And, yes, if I minimise Logos with the homepage displayed, bring a browser into view and then restore Logos the homepage is no longer displayed.

But it hasn't been replaced with a blank screen - it is rather that it has switched to show the current "workspace" (i.e. the resources etc that you had open). If you had nothing open you would get a blank screen.

And I don't think it is actually anything to do with browsers etc - it is simply an interaction with the Logos icon

To demonstrate, with Logos open with the homepage in view, hover over the Logos icon to bring up the window indication

Right-clicking that window - to expose the various options - will cause Logos to switch display from the homepage to the workspace

Similarly, if you have Logos open with the homepage displayed and then minimise the app and click the icon button to restore it, it will return initially with the homepage displayed but then switch immediately to the workspace in less than one second

Is this consistent with what you are seeing?

Just for info Graham, I have followed your steps as far as possible and cannot reproduce this on my MacBook.

Thanks Mike - could easily be a Windows-specific issue.

This problem has been reproduced at home office (Logos headquarters). I don't have to have Logos minimized only to get this problem.

From a fresh start, the Home page will stay up even switching back and forth between Logos and say, Word etc.

But if I open up anything on Logos, for instance, a Dictionary etc then close it, then the Home Page will disappear. Plus, here it is replaced with a blank page.

Minimizing Logos with the Home Page displayed and right clicking on the icon to bring it back up does not restore the Home page, rather it disappears to a blank page. Also, hovering over the icon gives me no options other than to close it or get rid of the icon.

That this has been an ongoing problem since day one of Logos 8, in my judgment, it seems odd that this is put on the back burner and just left alone for nearly a year.

On another note, I notice I don't get notifications when anyone posts a reply. I've checked off 'Email me replies to this post' but still no notifications. Has anyone else noticed this?

This has been fixed in 8.10.

I noticed that! Appreciate the fix Philana and the reminder. Thanks so much.
