Tom, this is genius. Thanks for the tip.
Today I found where this problem is creating actual error messages. I tried
editing a book (OL9031177M) that had one of the authors pointing to the wrong
record (OL6925253A, should be OL244300A). When I changed the author to the
correct record, I got the following message:
expected /type/author, found /type/redirect
This is beyond annoying (especially since I lost everything -- including an
entire table of contents -- because my save was denied). These are all new
problems that weren't occurring a year ago. I hate to say it, but the awful way
it worked a year ago was much better than the just plain broken way it is
working now. Is there a way to go back to an earlier version?
