Scroll bars for pop ups

[quote]

What do you think of a scroll bar for pop up windows, such as a (mouse hovered) scripture verse. So that you could read all of the verse or chapter in the pop up rather than opening up or switching to a new tab?

This request identifies a genuine problem; I'm not sure it identifies the best solution".I occasionally would like a scroll bar but I would not support blurring the line between popups and panels ...  this would essential convert popups to a stripped down panel - an idea that has merit if not at the cost of standard popup expectations. So "all a verse" gets my support; "or chapter" does not.

    I don't think I understand the request, exactly. Would it satisfy the need if there were just be a little link "Open as floating" or something on the hover window, which would open it as a floating panel, maybe with the relevant text automatically populated as an inline search (so it is highlighted, but the rest of the resource is readily accessible)?

    This is a real limitation especially on the iPad app (I know, scope creep here). If the link is to "John 1," the popup will only show John 1:1. Very annoying and limiting.

    Anyway, back to desktop apps - OliveTree's scripture popups allow you to scroll up and down beyond the linked reference range itself. I don't see any issues or performance concerns with this. And they're able to do this for both their Windows and iPad apps. I don't see why Logos can't do the same.

    Good idea.
