           Summary: Browse Results is easily confused
        QA Contact: koha.sekjal at gmail.com
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: mjr at software.coop
               URL: http://localnet/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: master
         Component: OPAC
           Product: Koha

To break the Browse Results box added in Bug 6483:

1. search for many pages of results common, like "a";

2. open results page 2 in a new tab;

3. open any result detail from page 1;

4. enjoy the Browse Results box either: moving you around the wrong page; or
having previous/next greyed out while Back to Results takes you to the wrong
page.

This is because the Browse Results links are stored in the session rather than
encoded in the URLs. I think it needs more behind-the-scenes knowledge than
even OPAC power users will have before you expect that behaviour, but power
users open results pages in tabs.

The obvious fix is to encode the session parameter busc in the URLs rather than
the session.  That would also make it rather easier to debug things like bug
7394 and bug 7894.
