A metrizable Menger group separating neighborhood and open-cover selection

About 19 years old · traced to

A topological group is Menger when it satisfies the Menger selection property, equivalently Sfin(O,O){\rm S}_{\rm fin}(\mathcal O,\mathcal O). The principles Sc(Onbd,O){\rm S}_c(\mathcal O_{\rm nbd},\mathcal O) and Sc(O,O){\rm S}_c(\mathcal O,\mathcal O) concern neighborhood and open covers, respectively. The conjecture. There is a metrizable topological group which has the Menger property and property

Sc(Onbd,O),{\rm S}_c(\mathcal O_{\rm nbd},\mathcal O),

but not the property

Sc(O,O).{\rm S}_c(\mathcal O,\mathcal O).

This is the Menger-property weakening discussed by the authors, and the source provides no resolution.
