Stable page number and hidden flows

[Section8]

I am running KOreader 2025.10 on a rooted PW4, but have also reproduced this with 2025.10 on Linux. I just started playing with stable page numbers and found something that looks wrong.

If I have stable page numbers turned OFF, and set up and enable a custom hidden flow, several things change in the status bar: the progress percentage and the total # of pages change, and the '/' current/total page separator changes to '//'.

If I turn ON stable page numbers, and then enable/disable a custom hidden flow, the only status bar field that changes is the progress percentage - the total page count does NOT change to reflect the hidden flow, and the page separator never changes to '//'.

Also, with stable page numbers enabled, the page numbers for TOC entries in a hidden flow don't show the hidden flow page number in [ ] the way they do if stable page numbers is off.

This isn't supposed to work like this, is it?

Yes, stable pages prevail hidden flows.

Ok, if that's the way it's supposed to work, but that seems counter-intuitive to me. Stable page numbers can be set up to apply "globally", to all books that haven't already been opened with non-stable pages.

By its nature, a custom flow is specific to a single book, and I would expect that to override the page type for that book.

I also don't understand why it changes only the percent progress and not the total pages in the book. With the status bar like this, current page/total pages is not equal to the displayed percentage.
