Hi Bim,

Yes. It throws the not found error, even though I tagged the same line
30 seconds before. Going into the content panel, the text is nested in
one or more of whatever container I chose. Choosing a different one
from TouchUp reading order would just add to the nesting layer.

I am manually tagging this, and have expanded all tags, the tag nor
the words are in the tags tree. Same as above, I started looking right
after tagging,
