Single-sourcing: Deleted content in FM source not reflected in RH update

I discovered today that, when I delete content in my linked FM source, the same content is not deleted or even marked as 'changed' or anything in the RH update!

  • In one situation, I deleted an entire chapter but the topic wasn't deleted.
  • In another, I deleted a section of a chapter, but the section wasn't deleted from the topic. In both cases, I saved the changes in FM before running the update in RH.

Is this a known but undocumented feature? Did I miss a setting somewhere? Is there a fix or update?

It pretty much invalidates the whole purpose of 'linking and updating.' 

Win 7, TC3.

Bizarre. With another linked book, the deleted FM content was deleted from the RH project. I can't figure out why it worked with one book and not the other.

Did the deleted content have conditional text applied? I had a similar  issue and this was the problem.

Yes, it did. Hhmmm, I wonder why that should make a difference.
