Bug(?) Parallel Resources Set with certain Greek Lexicons

Hi,

Looks like there are some problems with Parallel Resources Set (PRS), including discussions here http://community.logos.com/forums/t/85439.aspx

There are other PRS problems, but, I just want to focus on Greek Lexicons here.

I am now running Logos 5.2a Service Release 6 (5.2.1.0155) after the update yesterday, I also rebooted my machine and start afresh. I spent another 1-2 hours try to see if there is a repeatable pattern so that we can help the developers fix the problem.

The problem shifted somewhat from what I have previously posted and below are my new observations. I would really appreciate if other Mac Users can help confirm that it is indeed a problem, or it is just something strange happening on my Machine (Thanks):

Resources shown on the top left Quadrant of screen shot are those with problem. Specifically: (it appears that all these has multiple indexes including Strong#)

• Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains: Greek (New Testament)
  
• Enhanced Strong's Lexicon
• The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament (Zodhiates)
• Vocabulary of the Greek Testament (M-M)
• New American Standard Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Dictionaries: Updated Edition
• The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words

When I click on the PRS Button of these resources, I noticed that the dropdown list included resources without hits with the Greek headword "ταρταρόω" in these resources: (noticed that it will open to the title page and I lost the PRS list in the panel)

• The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament
  
• Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words
• New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology
  

Jack,

Thank you for helping to validate that there exists some problems with PRS.

By the way if you look at my top right quadrant of my last screen shot, you would have noticed that the left / right arrow button you mention in the upper right are greyed off, so I was unable to navigate back to the previous resource in the Panel.

Hopefully some one in Logos take a look at this, and let us know what they need for us to help them catch the bug :-)

Okay: I'm going to be completely honest. This thread is incredibly detailed and I'm having a little trouble following it. Here's what I have, and correct me if I'm wrong/missed something.

Dylan,

Thank you for responding ... Ignore my original first post (that was on SR-5) ... look at my Second Post (on SR-6) due to some changes in PRS behavior observed. There are 3 or 4 PRS Issues depending on how you navigate.

Can you walk through the same sequence with me to catch the first bug (I have reduced my PRS for Greek Lexicon from 21 to 19)

Steps here:

• Shutdown Logos 5 and Restart (I even shutdown my Mac and restart
• Start BWS with "ταρταρόω

• Click on the Hyperlink to open each of the Lexicon in my PRS this way (do not navigate to other Resources via PRS Button yet) I am just going to open 12 of the 19 Lexicon in my PRS "Lexicon Greek (19P)" where the Greek Head word "ταρταρόω" is found.

• Click on PRS Button of each of these Lexicon to see the PRS drop down list (without navigating to other PRS Resources), Organize Lexicon with the same PRS drop down list for "Lexicon Greek (19P)" in each Window below. Top Right Window of my Layout below shows LXGRCANLEX, BDAG, EDNT, ANLEX, Louw-Nida, IGEL, LSJ  where PRS is working as expected.

• Noticed that the PRS drop down list of Zodhiates, M-M, NASB Dictionaries included TDNT, Vines, NIDNTT; resources without a "ταρταρόω" headword (Bottom Center Window of my Layout)

• Noticed that the PRS drop down list of DBL-Greek, ESL included TDNT, Vines; resources without a "ταρταρόω" headword (Bottom Right Window of my Layout)

• If you click on any of the resources in the yellow boxes, it will open these Resource to it's title page

Hope you can find the bug ... I do not know how to simplify this bug reporting ... sorry.

PS: Some additional input of what Jack found about issue with LSJ

• Try Opening LSJ from BWS Hyperlink, or Library or Command Bar ... LSJ appears to be OK,
• However try Opening another Lexicon first such as BDAG, LXGRCANLEX, etc ... navigate to LSJ via the PRS Button .... PRS Button disappear 

PS: Another note, Jack is running 5.2b Beta 2 - I think. I am running 5.2a SR-6, also I do not have some other Lexicons that Jack owns :-(
