Has this ever happened to you?

The text in the “Word Info” section sometimes shows up mirrored when looking at passages in the HEB/GRK resource. (I spend most of my time in the OT- I don’t know if it also happens in the NT.)

I’ve been observing this behavior occasionally ever since I started using Paratext in version 7. I’m not sure what triggers it. I’ve made a bug report before, but it looks like the problem hasn’t been identified. I’m interested to know if this only happens to me, or if other people have observed the behavior.

It can be fixed by clicking on the resource’s menu, unselecting “Word Info”, and reselecting it. Here is the window again, corrected:

Interesting. I have had other display issues with the SLT if I leave it open all of the time as part of a saved layout. Occasionally, I need to either move to another verse then back to the verse I want to study, or close then reopen the SLT to make it refresh. The SLT is a very complex mixture of writing systems.

Thanks anon044949. And oh! I just realized that the Hebrew itself is also backwards . I just edited the post to reflect that.
