Hey Henrik,

this does not sound like a bug.

You need to specify a startkey, if you want proper pagination. couch streams 
results from the index from startkey to endkey, but limited to the given limit 
parameter. if you don't provide a startkey, couch will stream from the 
beginning (AFAIK) up to endkey when the limit of results is hit (whichever 
comes first). this is the reason why you will always see the first "page" in 
your application.

I'm not sure if there is an example in the couchdb book or in the wiki, but 
sofa (jchris' blog couchapp) has pagination build in. Maybe you can have a look 
there (http://github.com/jchris/sofa). Pagination is best build using startkey 
and limit.


Best
