6.11 beta 2 bug: Clicking on the main headings in the Courses tool can show the wrong video.

To reproduce:

  1. Open the Courses tool, and select the NT202 course. Make sure the TOC is displayed in the left panel.
  2. From the left panel, click on the main heading "Dead Sea Scrolls" (immediately after "Texts Engaging the Hasmonean Dynasty").
  3. Note that the bottom right hand panel moves to the correct section, and notes that it is Unit 10, and that after the introduction then segment 75 will be next.
  4. Note that there is a video displayed in the top right panel. Play that video. After observing that the video is entitled "Dead Sea Scrolls", play it to the end (you can fast forward to the last few seconds if you wish).
  5. At the end of that video, the next video begins to autoplay.

Result:

  • The video that has autoplayed is entitled "Philo of Alexandria". That is NOT the title of the next segment. In fact, it is segment 42.
  • The reason for this is that the Courses Tool has tried to match the title that has been clicked on with the title of a video. In this case it chose segment 41, which is also entitled "Dead Sea Scrolls". So the video you played above was actually a video from much earlier in the course.

Expected result:

  • When you click on a main heading, I would expect the video to be the next video after the heading, but a video with the same name from earlier in the course, nor the video prior to the heading (which is the default when there is no similar name from earlier in the course.)
