Bible Window Does Not Automatically Display Selected Verse

[xiphos-bug-inhaler]

[NB: I realise this bug was reported previously - 2827567 - but see that it has been marked as "closed" and "addressed since 3.1" on the Xiphos development page. However, I have only encountered it since the most recent update so am raising it as "new".]

When I select a verse the Bible window goes to the correct book and chapter and highlights the selected verse, but displays the first verse of the chapter instead of the selected one meaning that I have to manually scroll down. It doesn't matter how I select the verse, eg whether I select if from bookmarks, search results or type it in the address bar.

This function worked perfectly for me up until a week or two ago following my update to 3.1.1. The problem first occurred under Ubuntu Jaunty, but is still present now under Karmic. I have seen questions about "small windows" but I don't understand what that means. I use pretty much the default window settings, and as I said it worked before but not now with no change to window size etc.

Thanks for looking (as I wait to be bombasted for creating a duplicate :)

Regards, mike.

I just tried this on Karmic and didn't have problems at all. The comments about window size are about how much screen size you have and therefore how much area Xiphos has to display. There are/were known problems with small screen sizes.

Can you please estimate how big your Bible pane is in pixels, as well as which module you were using, whether or not you had the commentary displayed, and any other info you might think is relevant?

Hi there, and thanks for the reply. I get this problem even if I close all panes other than the Bible pane. When I do this my Bible pane is approximately 1200x700 pixels. I only use the KJV Bible module. If, for example, the commentary pane is open the commentary works fine; it is only the Bible pane which will not automatically jump to the selected verse. As I said in my original post everything worked great under ubuntu up until a couple of weeks ago, which is rather odd LOL. Is it possible an ubuntu update has caused this?

NB: I did an UPGRADE to Karmic, so it's possible something is still there. I will do a clean install and post the result shortly ....

Thanks again, mike.

OK, I did a clean install of Karmic Koala and Xiphos works perfectly again :) This problem must have been due to a recent update to something else on my system (before I "upgraded" to Karmic). I will add my favoured programs one by one just in case something causes a problem, but I suspect all will be well now.

ransom, many many thanks for your support. I'm sorry to have wasted your time, I should have thought of doing a clean install first. Funny things these computers ... but great fun and Xiphos is just the business!

Thanks again and very best regards, mike.

evidently due to some other library being updated. closed per originator.

matthew says it's reproducible in the face of having 2 xulrunner libs installed. that's one definition of insanity, but re-opening on request.

closing again. matthew says he can't reproduce it any more; likely, lib bugs were fixed that were the source of the trouble.
