I posted this in the Combiners thread and am reposting here because it might be a bug:
Nevov reported that they could see all the versions, so maybe it's just me?
ETA: Safari Version 18.3.1 (20620.2.4.11.6)
Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2
I've found another issue that I've never come up against before; I've added books to my workbench to combine but when I open the workbench, not all the issues are on there.
It happened first last week with Le Loup à trois pattes. I did wonder whether it was just that the system needed some time to catch up but the two copies sat on my drop-down menu for my workbench for a few days though there was only ever one on the workbench whenever I opened it. (Unfortunately I accidentally deleted one copy when I was tidying up and can't find it on LT now.)
It just happened again with The Tale of Tom Kitten; I can see three editions on the drop-down menu for my workbench but when I open it to combine them, there is only one. I doubt that it's (only) because they might be zero copy editions since other books with zero copy editions have shown up properly on my workbench.
Is this a bug I should report or some other issue? I'm using Safari on an Apple laptop.

If it helps to mention, I'm on a Windows setup, and the work numbers I see for the three are:
46560 (3249 copies), 36328968 (18 copies), 36329003 (1 copy)

Can it be the good old “no editions” - either because the system is behind or because the work has no editions?
Zero copies show up; zero editions don’t (usually a result of an overzealous separation that removed all editions from a work).

Not for me, they look okay on the combination screen, with editions.

>6 AnnieMod: Yes; I still have the three 'Tom Kittens' in the drop-down for my workbench but only one (the main one) when I open the workbench.

Another one: if I try adding https://www.librarything.com/work/6495844/editions to my workbench it does not show up.

Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2
ETA: please ignore; it just showed up as a zero edition though I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before, so I'm leaving this message here for tracking.

They are still in the drop-down menu but not showing on the workbench itself.
