Then something is resetting F: prior to that Figure para. In addition to the issues listed earlier, suspects also include, but are not limited to:
- last para using F: in previous file has <n=0>, possibly as an override
- some prior non-"Figure" para in current file has <n=0>, possibly as an override
- some prior para in current file has <n=0> and you can't see it due to flowed-out-of-sight or is using invisible text (but not a Condition turned off).
- a Text Inset prior to the affected Figure, imported using Source's Formatting, has reset the counter.

Can't argue with that, esp. when the clock is running down.
