It opened at 67%. The percent read showing underneath the metadata remains as in the screenshot, 12%



The last time I connected my Libra the reading status did up date, to the 67% shown in the upper part of the screenshot.

I have just connected my Libra again, and the reading status has changed from 67% to 68% in the relevant column and the date ahs changed too:


Meanwhile, the 12% and 10-02 date at the bottom have not changed at all.

I chose the word "oddity" with care - this quirk does not trouble me, it intrigues me. I have never noticed a reading status update underneath a book's metadata info as in the screenshot before, and have made no changes to the Calibre setup to account for it. I have no idea how it even got to 12%, nor why it has not moved at all since that time, nearly a week ago. It's a mystery, which is kind of apt given that the book is a mystery anthology.
All of that sounds like it is working correctly. Except for the column that is stuck at 12%. What is that column? How is it defined? If it was being update by a plugin, either the one I mentioned or Job Spy, maybe that isn't working.
