Node count in the database-information-menu doesn't match the amount in the overview-menu of the cypher query

[test123-all]

Description

Bug: Node count in the database-information-menu doesn't match the amount in the overview-menu of the cypher query, that matches all nodes and returns them.

Reproduce Steps

Return all nodes of one database

Expected Behavior

I would expect that both numbers would be the same.

Current Behavior

The numbers aren't the same.

The used cypher query: MATCH (n) RETURN n LIMIT 25000

Can you propose a solution?

No, sorry.

For enhancements or other issues, please describe in as much detail as possible how the app should be changed and how this would benefit users/developers.

I don't know exactly which number is the right one. The difference between 5625 and 8574 is quite huge. I would like to have a more exact measurement value for speed testing purposes.

Important Addendum:

I noticed this morning how the number 8574 can be explained and that it is "probably right".

Some of the nodes in the database have multiple labels. The numbers on the right show how often the labels are present in the database. If I count the numbers together I exactly end up at 8574.

Is this intended? I expected the number of nodes.

I also noticed that the number of displayed nodes and relationships is written on the right too. But the number for the displayed relationships is 0. But there are displayed relationships?

Thanks for providing the extra info, it does look like we count number of labels on the right and number of nodes on the left, that's definitely confusing..

I've added this to our internal issue tracker, hopefully I can report back to you with progress soon! 😄

Hey, no problem! :)

Thanks, I would suggest to keep both values, since they can both be helpful at times. But making it somehow clearer what is meant

[OskarDamkjaer]

We didn't find a good way to communicate the difference between the node count vs label count, so we've switched to showing the same number as in the sidebar prevent confusion. We've released this in 4.4.6 :+1:

Okay, thank you very much :) :+1:
