#4731 is different on the print puzzle page from the solve and edit pages. I am trying to solve it before publishing. Help

I've tried publishing the puzzle, then go to solve screen which looks right. From there, I tried to print and its the old version.

Jan, can you fix this or tell me how to fix it?

How interesting, Mary. When I saw your puzzle #4731 pop up on the new puzzles page, I started to solve it. I ran out of places to use edge logic, and so I went to peek at solution to give me a small hint to continue solving, and I couldn't find puzzle 4731! I don't know if I should continue solving it or not. Hopefully Jan can help.

You are fast to pick up a new puzzle, Adam. It was only available for 3 minutes or so. I'm trying to solve it myself before publishing to see if it solvable.

I've got it printed under another number but leaving the messed up one (#4731) as is, in case Jan wants to see the problem.

Hmmm...I guess I got around to looking at this too late, because the puzzle is no longer in the database. Looks like there may have been some problem getting the PDF version of the puzzle updated when the on-line version was. Probably this doesn't happen to other people because they don't print out versions of their puzzle before publishing them. Definitely a bug I am going to have to look into.

I'm pretty sure I just fixed the bug that caused this.

Thanks Jan. I figured out a work around. Do you want me to try causing the problem again?

If you like. I'm fairly confident I've got it though.
