* *Logos:* Text display is a function of the operating system, not Logos. Some ancient scripts have errors on certain platforms. We plan to implement our own low-level text shaping / rendering in a future release of Logos Bible Software, to ensure consistency across all platforms, but until then will be unable to address text shaping bugs at the OS level.

* PC Notes can [[automatically hyperlink scripture in notes >> http://community.logos.com/forums/p/30845/228725.aspx#228725]] while hyperlink can be manually added on Mac

* PC Notes can [[automatically hyperlink scripture in notes >> http://community.logos.com/forums/p/30845/228725.aspx#228725]] while hyperlink can be manually added on Mac, [[Logos 5.1 Beta 5 implemented automatic hyperlink detection >> Logos 5.1 Beta 5]]

* *Logos:* We presently use operating system controls for rich text editing on each platform. The functionality is not the same on each, and we are unable to hook in at a low level to enable all the desired features on the Mac platform. Our long term plan is to replace the OS provided rich text editor with our own component, but until then we are unlikely to be able to advance the text editing features beyond their current state.

* PC Notes performance for typing is [[better than Mac >> http://community.logos.com/forums/t/51459.aspx]]
