I’m attempting to update the chapters for a book. The original audiobook contains 61 chapters, but only 36 chapters are returned during a lookup search.

After I select Apply Chapters, the chapter list partially updates: the first 36 chapters are replaced with the new titles and timestamps, but the remaining original chapters are still present.

What did you expect to happen?

Applying chapters should completely replace the existing chapter list with the chapters returned from the lookup search.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Open a book with an existing chapter list (61 chapters).
Perform a chapter lookup.
Observe that only 36 chapters are returned.
Click Apply Chapters.
The first 36 chapters update, but the remaining original chapters are not removed.

I am able to replicate the issue on 2.33.1, but I see that a fix is pending.
