I reinstalled every single qt5 package and rebooted but, alas, I still
have the problem.

I've noticed another curious behavior.  When I close the window and
open a new Bible window, no matter where I left off, it opens to Rev
1:1.  If I then use the up arrow control to scroll the book back to
Jude, it shows Jude 0:0.  Any book scrolling brings me to 0:0; chapter
scrolling brings me to chapter:0.  The Bible window is not frozen at
this point since I have not clicked on a verse number.  If I type in a
book, e.g., Judges, and then scroll back one book, I get Joshua 0:0.

I do not know if this is related to my frozen window but it does seem
like a bug.  I tried it on multiple translations and both displaying
verse numbers and not.  Thanks - John
