Verse reference goto is broken for certian books.

Post by Apocalypse612 »

I'm talking about the verse reference (F4) button. For certain books, typing the book and verse does absolutely nothing. The only way I Can get there is by using the menu navigation, which takes too long as I am faster typing it.

Not sure if this is a bug or what, but it's very annoying. For example, I can't get to 1Cor or 2Cor, or any verse it in, with the text shortcut, i.e. 1Cor 1:1

However, when I navigate there with the menu, it populates the text. What's the deal? I have the Tanakh 1917 in my bible view (along with 3 other versions), and this version does not include 1Cor, but it's not my mail bible (CJB Is, and it includes it, and it's first in the list). Just guessing here, some help please.

Can you give a screen shot of your Bible view when this issue happens?

I think I figured out what is going on. I was using the wrong menu for setting the default book (Show/Hide/Reorder Bible text), instead of the one directly above the book panel in the multiview, from the Tab's Context Menu (Set Default Book).

Somewhat confusing, but yeah, user error!

Though I do think that GoTo Verse command should function regardless, even it's not included in the book selection set as default view (I never leave multiview, for example, so it wouldn't have mattered).

I’m also facing this issue with verse references in certain books. It’s frustrating that typing the verse doesn’t work for 1Cor and 2Cor. I hope there’s a fix soon, as navigating through the menu is too time-consuming.
