I'm not sure where to put this, so I'll try here first.

I only really noticed this today, so I don't know if this is a new issue or if it's been around for a while.

I'm running 4.13.12638 on a Glo HD.

I was going through my old books that have been on my device for years and noticed that a bunch of series had the wrong series numbers on the Glo HD. Nothing has changed on the calibre end, so I tried running the update metadata feature just for those books and while the pop up said that the books were updated, looking on the Kobo, the numbers hadn't changed. So I deleted one of the series of books, rebooted to be safe, and then Sent them back to the device again (this was a series of 9 books). Unplugged the device, replugged it in to get the second database update, etc, and then looked at the information on the Kobo again.

Books 1-7 have the right series number, but the index number for book 8 is listed as 3 on the Kobo and book 9 is listed as 4 (so basically, Kobo thinks I have two book 3s and two book 4s even though they have different titles).

ALL of my different series on the Kobo are weirdly numbered like now this even though I haven't touched anything (there doesn't seem to be a pattern like the example above, for example in one of my old series, there seems to no longer be a book #1 as it is now listed as book #3), and sending metadata updates from Calibre doesn't seem to overwrite or correct anything. Any hints as to what may be happening? I don't really want to factory reset everything as a last resort, but since re-sending a series that I erased didn't do anything, I'm not sure that starting from scratch would necessarily fix anything yet. I did run the database validator in the plugin and it said 'OK' so I'm assuming my database is fine.

EDIT: Poking around in the Kobo database, the SeriesNumber listing for the various books seems to be correct, so unless there's another place where nickel is pulling the series number from to display it to the user, I'm not sure what's happening here. As a sanity check, I'm going to disable all patches and see if the problem persists.

EDIT 2: Disabling patches by flashing a stock firmware upgrade file overtop everything did nothing. So still not sure what's going on.

EDIT 3: OK, this is weird; swiping from left to right and back again (still on stock firmware) makes it seem like the series number doesn't refresh; for example, when switching pages, some of the books will display the number of the book that was in the same position on the previous page, but when you swipe the other way, it'll display the number from that previous page instead. Firmware bug? I'll post this over there, just in case.
