--- Comment #12 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon at cdalibrary.org> ---
There are a couple approaches you could go from here.

Currently we have a jquery setup that simply takes the focus off the input box.
 It doesn't disable anything.  This has been a successful adjustment for us. 
You might think that this is a loose fix, as you can click on the text box and
continue on, but it is really no different than clicking the ignore button.

The other approach is to fix the patch to re-enable the input box and button
for transfers.

I don't know if it is worth going to a modal dialog window in this one
function.  It isn't a consistent workflow throughout Koha.  When you start to
do things differently in different parts of the software, it really breaks down
workflow.  I think modal dialog windows would be great for many alert messages
throughout Koha, but it needs to be consistent throughout, otherwise workflow
is disrupted, and you might look for these alerts one way and not the other.
