Known Issues

Known Issues for Mac

  • Personal Books
    • Right-clicking in a Personal Book will prevent that book from being recompiled successfully in the same session.
    • Resource language drop down in edit view is not scrollable.

Known Issues for Windows

  • Personal Books
    • Files added to a Personal Book in edit view cannot be deleted by right-clicking and then clicking Delete. Selecting the unwanted file and hitting the ‘Delete’ key on the keyboard does delete the file.
    • Repeated footnote numbers in Personal Books using multiple .docx files will repeat the text of the first instance of that number.

Previous Known Issues

    • Books compiled in the beta cycle will expire, at the latest, when 4.3 is shipped to the stable channel due to further changes that will be made.
    • Personal Books will not automatically sync between computers.
    • Personal Books from LDLS3 (*.lbxpbb) cannot be read in Logos 4; they will need to be recompiled from the original sources. For more information, see this thread.
    • Not all formatting is preserved, e.g. margins, indentation, paragraph and text spacing, text effects and word art, highlighting, and fill effects are ignored.
    • Text boxes, charts, embedded documents and other similar features are not supported.
    • From within the PB panel, a Personal Book cannot be dragged to the Shortcut bar or to a particular location on the screen to control where the book opens. (See this thread.)
    • Although a resource can be built with the “Bible” type, it will not function correctly as a Bible in Logos 4 (e.g., Copy Bible Verses, Bible Text Only, etc., do not work).
  • Sync
    • Sync of new/edited Copy Bible Verses styles will fail on a stable install where the login is also used for a beta install. (See this thread or this thread.)
