Odd Blacklight Behavior when asking for 100 items at the end of a list of 93 items

[PatrickYott]

When I was browsing around the other day, I looped through the list of communities (93 in total) 10 at a time. When I got to the last page, I asked it to show 100 items at a time, thinking it would give me all 93 in one screen, but it did something funky, and tried to display from item 901..

Like I thought, this is an issue in Blacklight - projectblacklight/blacklight#528

There appears to be a fix here - projectblacklight/blacklight@aa5a40d

I'll look into back porting it.

Urk. We don't fork Blacklight, and at this stage, I think it's a bad idea. They have a gap between support branches of 4.0 and 4.4 which leaves us in no mans land with 4.3 for using github. Updating to 4.4 causes a bunch of other things to update, and the project to fail.

I'll do a fix within Cerberus itself, with a note indicating that it should be taken out when we upgrade Blacklight.

Only if you think it worth your time. I'm not sure my poking around is an expected user behavior!

I'm sure someone would've run into it sooner rather than later. A fairly simple fix, if ugly.

This happened today during the usability session. The user performed a search, then clicked "Last" to go to the last page, then used the Creator facet to limit by creator name:

This is the same old bug with Blacklight that they've solved upstream, and the backport hasn't worked properly. Not sure how much it's worth trying to fix with our older version.
