This is not a bug, Steward and its related badges were changed on Jan 29 so that they were now awarded for every 1000 reviews done. See this mother meta post for more information.

Upvote not reflecting in reputation points?
Your question has been turned into a community wiki because it is a resource recommendation question, see this meta post.

The counter "Your daily reviews X/20" just means that you can do a maximum of 20 reviews per day per queue, not that there are actually 20 items in the queue for you to review.

It means that the review queue indicator is broken and doesn't work very well.
In fairness, it used to be very broken (cf. this post in this meta and this one in the mother meta). That is, it used to ...

Hot Network Question titles are interpreted as LaTeX / MathJax?
This is a known issue. As a workaround, you can install SOUP (Stack Overflow Unofficial Patch), which will prevent MathJax rendering in HNQ titles unless the site is known to have MathJax enabled.
