Summary:
Custom Text Leaking from Journals I Don't Subscribe To
Original Request:
I use custom text as module #3 in main module setting (2 column, narrow right with Stepping Stones). I view almost everything via style=mine.

My custom text is brief: it’s got a headline and a single link

Screen shot:

When viewing journals which *don’t* have custom text, DW shows me custom text from another journal.

For example, when viewing @sasha_feather (I have lots of access, this is a public post), I see

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztj563ttor495qa/sasha_feather%20in%20my%20style.png?dl=0

Under the "Misc Policies" heading, the first paragraph says:
> If you ever want to respond to one of our posts, but don't feel comfortable leaving a comment that others can see, a private message is always an acceptable alternative.

When I follow the "Private message" link, it takes me to @manifold’s locked journal, which shows the exact same text as *@manifold*’s custom text.

Okay, I whined about this on the code-tour, and I realized that my screenshot links were all dead. Let's try this again with images hosted on mltshp.com

Screenshot of my "custom text," title and item are the same link to a DW entry

Viewing a public post for sasha_feather in style=mine, there’s two paragraphs where I had my custom text.
https://mltshp-cdn.com/r/1MQ08

But the content of that text is from manifold’s journal
https://mltshp-cdn.com/r/1MQ0A

Neither sasha_feather nor I have access to or subscribe to manifold; manifold doesn't subscribe to us.

Hi there -

So sorry for the long delay in getting a response to you. We believe this is related to a bug discovered some time ago, but, unfortunately, none of our volunteers has had a chance to work on it.

Are you still seeing this incorrect text on journals? We've had some code updates and other changes that may have fixed it without us realizing it.

Grazie,
H2

Sorry to say that the issue is still popping up.
