  • Clippings
    • Fixed bug that prevented the “Add a clipping to ...” context menu option from working with a resource with a hyphen in its ID (e.g., LLS:AWP-ANTH).

    • Fixed crash (InvalidOperationException) that could occur when opening CBV while working in a layout.
    • Only the top line of an interlinear Bible is copied (default top line), rather than multiple lines that run together. Manual copy and paste will still bring over lines currently enabled in resource.
  • Exegetical Guide
    • Fixed crash (InvalidOperationException) that could occur when running an Exegetical Guide on Ezekiel 36.
    • “Include only these parts of speech” radio button, in Exegetical Guide Word by Word section, is automatically selected when a ‘parts of speech’ box is checked.
  • Favorites
    • Items can now be dropped any place in the Favorites panel rather than just after the last entry. An insertion line is visible at the drop point.
  • Graph Bible Search Results
    • Last used chart is remembered, rather than defaulting to ‘Bar Chart’.
    • Percentages are now rounded rather than having multiple decimal places.

  • Highlighting
    • Fixed bug that prevented pre-defined styles from being applied when Spanish UI in Logos 4 was enabled.

    • With text selected in a resource display, but with a note text box focused, Ctrl+K no longer applies a highlight in the resource. It focuses the hyperlink box, as expected.
  • Home Page
    • Fixed bug that could cause Content preferences to be overwritten after they were modified on one computer and Logos 4 was opened to home page on second computer where Content preferences had not been changed.
    • Fixed bug that caused the Lectionary hover popup to always display the Revised Common Lectionary (when hovering over the date and season) or the Catholic Lectionary (when hovering over the title of the day), even though the prioritized Lectionary was displayed correctly on the ribbon.

    • Font color is not currently supported, so colored text copied from a word processor will not include that color when pasted into rich text editor.
    • Font colors (such as red letter Words of Christ) will be removed from copied resource text. This will be revisited later.
