not sure, maybe happens not only on mode switching but also when rules changed.

Hello,

I will check this one.

For me :

• when switching a category from "standard mode" to "virtual category" : we should invalidate the index, to ensure products previously assigned to this category are correctly set out of the category.

• when creating a virtual category, or changing a previous rule : there is no need to invalidate the index, since nothing is indexed for virtual categories : The query is processed in real time when navigating to the category page, which allow the category to evolve by itself when products matching the rule are changing (Eg. a category set to "Sale : Yes" will automatically display products that have just been set as "Sale : Yes").
