5.2a beta 3: Lots of bugs in the library

I know it's my fault for running a beta, but the Library is really frustrating at the moment. Two chief complaints to prioritise:

If you sort by series, you'll get a list of series, as expected. If you then add a filter such as 'zzz' to get zero volumes, the list of series will remain.
There are plenty of examples of the scroll bars disappearing, even I need to be able to scroll. I can't quite pin it down, but again it seems to occur when I'm sorting by series/publisher.

It was really frustrating in Beta 1, improved in Beta 2, but is still frustrating in Beta 3! I'm hoping to test the new tagging in Beta 4 - it presented a similar level of frustration to users from Beta 1 - 3.

Worked correctly for me in 5.2a Beta 3 Mac. Possibly a Windows only bug.

Haven't seen this in the Mac version.

I can reproduce this and have created a case for development.

This should be fixed in the next beta, but since it is hard to consistently reproduce do let us know if you run into it (with steps if you can!). [:)]

This happened just now. I had a filtered library, sorted by title, with the info panel open. I dragged a resource from the top of the list to open it. The top two resources then disappeared, and I couldn't scroll to get them back.

So I started with this:

And ended up with this:

It's not reproducible, though!

This should be fixed in 5.2a Beta 4.

This should be fixed in 5.2a Beta 5.
