(Beta) Sometimes (some/all) quests appear as untracked/untrackable

Version 3.7.0 (Beta) (upgraded from v3.69)
Sometimes, despite eagerly tracking quests from the Quest Log, !Questie refuses to include that quest in its' tracker. I don't see a pattern in type of quest. Just a random quest here and there. Happened more frequently right after update - then zero quests were tracked for a while. The tracker will suddenly start working after a really long time, though.
When the untrackable quest isn't on the main screen tracker (the one floating on-screen) items aren't shown on either of the maps.
The untracked quests not showing on the map is actually intended behaviour. If you want to see quest notes regardless of their tracking status use the /questie showobjectives
command, or the settings UI in 3.7 (the option is called "Always Show Quests" there).
For the quests not tracking when manually Shift+Click
-ing them I will have to look into that when I have more time. It would be very useful to know some quests this is happening with, so if you ever see that again, please leave the quest name here so I can investigate.
Could be a "parsing" issue. I recently hit a problem with not being able to track some of the steps in the Shaman Water Totem quest line. Each step had the exact same name followed by (Part 3) and (Part 4) etc.
If you are talking about the quest name, it's actually a server side issue. A lot of old databases have these kinds of "Quest x (Part n)" names, and Zoey removed them from our DB some time ago. @AriinPHD Do you remember if this was the case for you?
...another reason I'm hesitant to put anymore work in Questie. We need a new DB to solve a lot of problems and to implement some decent features that we can't currently. I just wish Blizzard would provide some info to developers as to what is in-store for us in Classic.
@AriinPHD I think @ZoeyZolotova found the problem. It appears Questie was suppressing the display of quests in the tracker when they had previously been marked as finished (by Shift+Click
-ing their starting point on the map). Should be fixed in the latest commit (f3edb51), please retest.
I am leaving this issue open for now due to the bug with quest names which Dyaxler mentioned. Just saw this bug is already tracked in #418.
