[Sergeadg 1]

Hi, anyone has a problem with the word count on windows? I have to do the procedure twice each time in order to have the right informations...

Hi - What procedure is this?  My word count shows in the note status bar and increments / decrements as I add words.  Haven't checked the counts,  but they seem to be updated instantly...

Procedure is - go to a note, type some text, then click the "Word and Resource counts" option in the "Note" menu on Windows.

Here's a photo of what happens with me if I create a new note. The second time I run it, the count comes out correct.

Hmmn.  If you go to the View menu and choose 'view status bar',  you'll get this at the bottom of your notes -

If I follow your route I get the same results no matter how many times I try...

Full disclosure - I'm on the beta,  which may mean this is a valid bug they killed already...

That works. Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. 

And strangely, if I have the status bar, the word and resource count works, if I don't, it doesn't. 

Anyway, the status bar is now on and all is well

Yes, it works ONLY if the status bar is turned on.

Hmmn.  I did not know that...

Well, it's new. Only started happening for me a few weeks ago. But the status bar thing fixes it.

Thanks for these reports. Writing to confirm that it's in our backlog.
