[Koha-devel] Problems with suggestions

We have had a few queries about suggestions not working correctly in
3.8, that seem to be the result of this:

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7300#c6

can we decide the path to solving this? Making suggestions hidden by
default is distinctly a regression for many libraries. On the other
hand, filtering by branch is a genuinely useful thing, as is the ability
to filter by default.

My suggestion (to avoid a syspref) is that it has big, obvious words
saying it's filtered and a button to show all, and it remembers the last
state that user had (filtered or not) to show them next time. But I
don't have any funding in line for this, so it'd really be up to whoever
had the time to implement it.

(It also maybe exposed a weakness in the patch signoff workflow, as it
didn't really get any external review before going in, but that's
another conversation perhaps.)
