Hello Stefan,

this is normal behavior, it jumps to the point in the index not listing
all the authors with a certain letter.
So if there are no entries in the index for a letter you just see the next.

Sunny greetings

Dear Members,

i would like to ask some questions about the browsing functionality
and its behaviour on this list.
My main concern is whether certain behavior of the browsing
functionality has been consciously implemented in this way or whether
it is rather a bug.

I expected the following behavior:
When I click on a letter I want to see only authors that begin with
that letter.
If no author exists with this letter, I expect an empty list.

My DevVM uses the following software versions:
- DSpace 6.3 Snapshot
- SLES 12
- Tomcat 7.0.85
- Postgres 9.6.4

In my test instances there are submissions with the authors
- Funke, Hans
- Hoch, Lutz
- Insel, Gustav
- Roller, Thomas
- Römer, Bernd

"Hoch, Lutz" and "Insel, Gustav" are authors of a submission.
"Roller, Thomas" and "Funke, Hans" are also authors of a submission.

1) When a user clicks on Browse by author, he or she will first see
all authors in alphabetical order. If the user then chooses the list
of authors starting with 0-9, the same list will continue to be
displayed. Shouldn't an empty list be displayed here?

2)  If the user then clicks on the letter "H" the list will be displayed.
- Hoch, Lutz [1]
- Insel, Gustav [1]
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
Here I would expect only the author "Hoch, Lutz" as a result.

3) If the user clicks on the letter "M", the list will appear.
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
I'd expect an empty list here, too.

4) Then the letter "D" was selected and the list appears.
- Funke, Hans [1]
- Hoch, Lutz [1]
- Insel, Gustav [1]
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
I would expect an empty list.

5) The user then clicks on the letter "I" to get the list
- Insel, Gustav [1]
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
I was expecting the list
- Insel, Gustav [1]
here

This game can be continued as you wish. Usually I rarely get the
expected result.
Is this behavior correct or are these rather bugs in the browser
classes (api+xmlui)?

I look forward to your answers.

Regards,
Stefan
