Mismatch in Unassigned Submissions Count – Only 2 shown out of 6

Hello, everyone :waving_hand:

I’m encountering an issue in OJS 3.4.0-9 where the “Unassigned” tab in the submissions list shows a count of 6, but when I click on it, only 2 submissions are actually displayed — and no filters are active.

  • The count appears correctly at the top: Unassigned (6)

  • But only 2 items are shown in the list view

  • Filters are all cleared and default settings are applied

  • This happens only in one journal; others seem unaffected

Does anyone know if this could be related to:

  • Missing editorial assignments?

  • Submissions with incomplete metadata?

  • Database inconsistency or caching?

Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
