Since I was moving between a 32-bit and a 64-bit platform, I thought
that exporting to XML would be the safest way, not knowing the
structure of the .mem files in details. In any case, I don't think
that this contributed to the effects I'm seeing.

The interesting thing is that I don't remember seeing this behaviour
on my x86 linux system, and I've been using Mnemosyne for at least 2
years. There, I use Mnemosyne 1.1, if I remember correctly (will check
when I'm back home).

Sometimes I like to have close control over what cards are shown,
especially if I have a number of difficult cards to get through. So I
often set this to 0 for a while to avoid distractions and drill the
cards marked as 1 for a few days until they sit. I increase it once
I'm through the rut. Not the standard way to use it, but it used to
work in the past, on both Windows and Linux.

This can certainly explain the behaviour I've been seeing (and yes,
there was a hidden limit like 10 that I was seeing). Still, I haven't
experienced this one before (I usually have more than 10 grade 1 cards
since my database is huge, and I like drilling more than 10 cards at a
time).

Was this limit introduced in a certain version of mnemosyne?

My move was from 32-bit linux to 64-bit linux, and I don't think that
this should cause different behaviour either, especially since
Mnemosyne is written in python. Still, I'm seeing behaviour I'm not
used to, and now I can't even learn grade 0 cards because they are
never shown.
