Option "Next, random" advances sequentially daily

Android 10
Lawnchair Launcher (version 1.2.1.2001 from FDroid)

I have set the option "next, random" under the "Notifictions" options, but it only goes up one quote sequentially each day.

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding the option, but I thought it would jump to a random quote each day.

Here is a screenshot of my options, if it helps.

Hi - I can't repeat this behaviour.

Can you try this with a small set of quotations - i.e. A. A. Milne - and record a brief video?

The random feature should display a random quotation, from those you have not seen, from the content you have selected.

I enabled the toolbar button for "next, random" and clicking it, it still only goes one up sequentially, like if I'm at quote 5/20568, it goes up to 6/20568. Is this the intended behaviour? Is it displaying how many quotes I've read, while being actually randomized?

Btw how do I post a video on here?

Hi - the App is working as intended. I'll explain how it works:

Say you select an author - A. A. Milne - who has 5 quotations.

If I press the "Next, sequential" button (4 times) then I get to see the following Quotations (I'll show first word only):
I; One; Weeds; Time; To

This is the order that the quotations were inserted into the database.

If I press the "First, clears Previous" button and then press the "Next, random" button (4 times) I get (this time):
I; Weeds; To; One; Time

Each press of the "Next, random" will give you a random quotation (that you have not previously seen) from the Quotations you selected.

The first counter shows how many previous quotations you have seen (by pressing either Next button), the second counter how many Quotations are available.

I'll close this issue, as the App is working as intended. But if you have any more questions please raise them. it's not a problem :-)

I see, my bad then, I got mislead by the counter. Thanks for the answer and the awesome app! ❤️
