New Bug Encountered: Format with CONTEXT("ViewType") not working properly

I’ve made an app to demonstrate the issue I’ll describe here. It’s called “Format test” and can be found here.

What I want to do is make the Japanese column big in the detail view but not in the deck view. So, I used the following condition:

It works at first:

But when I navigate from the table to the detail view, it no longer works:

By the way, I was also unable, in a different app, to get it to distinguish on the basis of the view name. In either case, the app seems to “remember” the format that it applies to the table view and does not adjust when the user navigates to the detail view.

Thanks in advance. I hope this can be fixed easily.

Recently, I have been avoiding “context” expressions with format rules. Instead, I make virtual columns that I only use in contexts where I want the rule to be applied and then make a format rule just for that virtual column. That seems to work well.
