When searching, occasionally the verse context shown in the search list shows old, previously modified text. When I click on the verse, the project text is correct. I have found this several times. The edits were usually made days or weeks ago, I believe. This is disturbing because it suggests some of the edits haven’t been registered somewhere in the system. Do you have any thoughts why this might be happening?

To reiterate:

  1. I have saved the project and am not getting confused with texts I just edited.
  2. The texts I’m looking at were edited at least a week ago. However, the search list contains what was previously there.
  3. I am looking at only one project (ie I don’t have multiple projects of the same text going) and getting confused with multiple versions of the text.
  4. I believe I found this also in the Biblical terms list. One of the verses has been edited but the original text was in the biblical terms list underneath a certain term. When I clicked on the verse, it was correct in our project.

I can imagine this being disturbing. Can you share a screenshot where the list text shows something different from the actual text?

I should have captured it with a screenshot. However, I moved on thinking that it was using cached data. I will try to capture it when it happens next. Based on your response, have you not see this problem before?

I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine how it could happen if you are doing a search on the current text. The only way I could imagine a list showing context of old text would be if you had the list up from a previous session. When Paratext does a search, it is always searching the current text.
