Row count always correct?

When you run a job from inside the Designer you can watch as the row counts are being updated, until all the links turn green and the job ends, right?
Does a black link (showing 0 rows, 0 rows/sec) mean a particular section did not run?
The resulting data contains every column it should, including those created in the section that did not run...
Is this a known bug?
Thanks!

Does that section include a connection to a Shared Container? Those will (unfortunately) never show counts on the canvas.

Under certain circumstances other links also are not updated, for example the output link from a Modify stage. The display of "performance statistics" in Designer was only ever a marketing gimmick; prefer the Director client "stage finishing" messages, or Monitor, to get row counts (if not the API). The Monitor can optionally give you separate row counts for each partition.

Still you cannot completly rely on the this performance staticts. The Environmental varialbe Setting in DS Administrator might change this character.

Not a Shared Container, but the output from a Modify stage, yes.
Since I am new to DS, I thought the stage wasn't being run.
Many thanks to DSXchange and your prompt replies!

That's not the only scenario. Modify ---> Peek will also not report a row count to the Designer.
