Hi Bill,

I think there's already a bug ticket for this 
at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/4991 and a potential fix 
at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/5001

If you have time or interest in helping to test the potential fix, please 
add any feedback you may have into the PR itself.  Currently, that PR is 
waiting for testers/reviewers before it would be merged and backported.
