BUG: L10.1 Beta 1 Long footnotes are cut
This bug exists on latest Beta, Logos 10.1 Beta 1 as well as in the current stable version, e.g. Verbum 10.0 SR-1 - as of now, not yet acknowledged by FL - and seriously impacts working with more scholarly resources which tend to have long footnotes.
Steps to recreate:
- Open a resource that contains long footnotes (e.g. https://ref.ly/logosres/mrysbdlyssmptn?ref=Page.p+1), the relevant determinator for "long" being: the footnote has more text than fits into the pop-up box showing on screen
- Navigate to a long footnote and click it
- Expected behavior: the pop-up box shows as much of the footnote as will fit and offers a scrollbar to view the rest
- Buggy behavior: the popup box shows as much of the footnote as will fit, possibly breaking midsentence. No indication of whether all has been shown or the footnote is actually longer exists.
I am not aware whether the issue was raised during Logos 10 beta tests and a case exists or not.
The bug is fully repeatable for me - and seemingly other users as well - on both Logos and Verbum (I'm running on Windows 10), stable and beta. It is not dependent on any scaling in Logos or the OS, other than the larger the display, the more often it will happen that a footnote simply doesn't fit (note that the positioning of the FN marker on screen will determine the maximimum size of the pop-up). Screenshots are in the thread linked above.

One thing I haven't seen yet: does this bug only occur on Windows, or are you running into this on a Mac by chance?

Windows.
But I'll test it on a Mac if someone decides to give me one. [;)]

I think I used that line in the past... but it never happened. On the other hand I don't think I could become a Mac person - somewhere there must be my MS-DOS 2.11 Handbook from the 1980s

I never promised not to sell it to someone else afterward.

I don't know if you ever got your Mac answer, but works on my M1:
- Popup is cut-off
- Click on popup
- Transforms from a vertical to a horizontal panel, reducing the font, and placing a scrollbar alongside (when long).

It can actually be possible to select and copy text from the footnote that is not visible.

Interesting for those affected: The description above did not include that my resource view is displaying "none" columns, i.e. scrolls indefinitely and shows footnotes only in pop-up. When another user reported this bug yesterday as a major issue, MJ Smith gave him/her the workaround to set display to columns view which will show the complete footnote text.
I still believe the bug should be (acknowledged and) fixed urgently.

I can't confirm this, unfortunately. There now is a scrollbar, but it still is not scrolling down:

Thank you for confirming, I have alerted the dev working on this case and we are looking into it. I apologize for the confusion and false hope.

Thanks. Just for the record, as it was discussed today in the other thread, this is still broken in Logos 25.0 Beta 3
