Thanks, DM.  I also can see the odd behavor.  A few things make sense.  
If you click a word which isn't highlighted but should be from the 
strongs number search, then right-click and choose "inspect" I found in 
the case I investigated that the word didn't have the correct strong's 
number.  I don't know which module this is or where it came from.  I am 
glad the modules team has remained active over the years, but we haven't 
had a consistent leader there and at least one person on that team 
repeatedly ignores me when I ask them not the change the source for a 
module without research into the pedigree of the source text.  Many of 
the texts our modules team had used for modules in the past years, I 
suspect, originated from us== from a Bible Foundation text, which was 
taken by Blue Letter Bible or someone else and then our team went and 
pulled that module as the source.  But that's another topic.

Anyway, I think I've done a module refresh for SWORDWeb recently so its 
modules should be close to what is in our main repository. I would guess 
that those same misalignments of strong's numbers would be present in 
any of our frontends.

Though some of the other problems you mention are a bit baffling.  I am 
not sure why sometimes the wrong word is highlighted when you click on 
another word.  I'd have to look into that one.

How are you?!
