hmmm, what kind of flashcard session? in my self-scored rep-spaced sessions i cant confirm this problem, today i saw several cards with headwords longer than 5 chars...
I made some more tests, and now the problem seems to be a little more complicated:
- in Manage Flashcards I see a category with 20 cards; with Advanced / category AND # reviewed 0 I see no card.
- In Flashcards / Statistics I see 20 cards, 19 learned (3 in a row); the unknown card is 好久不见了created in July 2009; this card has a record of 0-0 and no history
- a New flashcard session for All cards asks for 19 cards (Free Answer, show Audio, Ask for Headword, no Card filter, Frequency adjust, Old Automatic). The missing card is the above and is the only card with 5 characters.
- with Card selection Fixed or Random I also get 19 cards, with Repetition-spaced 17 cards.
- with Fequency Adjust (probably does not matter) and All Cards and Review only I get 20 cards; with Review only and Card Filter Not correct in row 3 I get the above card only.
Then I looked at all my 生词.
- in Manage Flashcards Advanced Top category AND # Reviewed 0 I found 12 cards, all with 5 or more characters. The above card was not one of the 12.
- I exported the same top category (more than 2000 cards) with Flashcard Export / Text File / UTF-8 and copied the resulting file into Excel, counted the number of characters per word and found 20 cards with 5 or more characters, including the 12 cards. The 8 additional cards also had a record of 0-0 and no history.
My question (apart from being somewhat confused) is: how can I test the missing cards?
