Verbum 9.7 Beta 2. Win 10. I have no idea whether this bug is new or old or beta only and I can't conveniently check.

To Replicate:

1. Open Passage Study Layout to Gen-Rev, after making sure that most of the sections of the Guide (other than the Commentaries section) will open closed.
2. Adjust the prioritization of some of your Bible Commentaries in a separate Library tab.
3. Click on the triple dots at the top right of the Passage Guide and then click on "Refresh Guide".
4. Observe the guide slowly "refresh" all (or nearly all) sections of the Passage Guide, including the ones that are presently closed and were never open to begin with.

Expected behaviour: Verbum should not refresh Passage Guide sections that are not visible. "Refreshing" sections that have never been visible is even worse.

Note: I have not tested this on any other Guide type.

I've written a bug report.

MJ. Smith:

This assumes that Verbum generates the data for a section at the time that section is opened

Verbum generates the data for PG sections at the time that those sections are opened. This is why Guides load so much faster when most sections are minimized.

Thank you!

A range of Gen-Rev will guarantee a slow refresh, but closed/collapsed sections should not be refreshed.

Relatively slow, anyway. It would have been much, much faster (and less resource intensive) for me to generate a new Gen-Rev PG from scratch.
