The short answer is, no. That is as designed.

[Edit] History of bookmarks
e-Sword version 7.5
Topic Notes can be locked to prevent editing. All of the "Extras" have been updated to implement this feature.
The Bible Fonts can be customized for every language supported.
This is the first release where a feature has been removed. The little Bookmark tabs are no longer present. Their usefulness has long been superseded since version 1.0 when they were introduced. The VerseList capability has been updated to replace this functionality as it is better suited to accommodate both quantity and organization. Right-click on a verse to add it to the active VerseList.
Added support for Turkish modules.
e-Sword version 7.6
OK, I repent, the little Bookmark tabs are back. It seems that some of the 2+ million users found a good use for them after all. They are now a display option and will need to be turned on if you want to use them. To display them check the "Display Bookmark Navigator" menu item under the "Options" menu.
Locked Topic Notes will display the Background Texture if that option is turned on.
