Outlier missing chars (and flashcards issue)

[Pierre Biannic]

Hello, in the outlier dictionary, for instance for 光, I get strange symbols instead of characters (cf pict): “private use”.
And even though I did the recent update (3.99.1.43.2), remapped or removed the cards with definition issues and rebuilt the database, I still get many “no valid test was found for this card” (the weirdest being that at least some of them used to work).
Any idea? Thanks! Pierre
Edit: I just sent you the database backup by email, I missed your previous message, sorry!

Thanks. The missing characters in Outlier are a known problem, we haven't finished remastering all of our databases for 4.0 yet.

Could you send us another backup but also this time include a backup of your database indexes (you can make that from the new option at the bottom of the 'data & backups' screen)? My best guess at this point is that something is going wrong with the index generation and that's why those cards are randomly coming up as invalid.

Also, if you change your test profile to be the example sentence type *only*, do a bunch of cards come up as invalid then? (this could be some sort of issue where it's treating the cards as valid because they are valid in the other test type, but then trying them in the one they're not valid for)
