  • Open a book that has footnotes in it.
  • Go into paged view (Columns = 1).
  • Turn on "Show footnotes on page"
  • Page to a page that has footnotes on it.

Notice: you can select text in the body of the book, but you cannot select text in the footnote.

There is a workaround: Find the footnote marker in the body of the text and click on it; you can select footnote text in the pop-up. So it's not crucial that this be fixed soon, but I just wanted to document it anyway, since it should work as expected. I was trying to do this just the other day. Came across a book title in a footnote and wanted to see if Logos carried it, so I tried to copy it from the footnote, but no dice.

I'm hoping that the text I just happened to have highlighted in my screenshot is a harbinger of things to come in Logos. Smile
