[Koha-patches] [PATCH] bug 3093: Enhance placing of holds in the staff interface.

[Stephen G. Edwards]

How about if we just disable the inapplicable controls?  That will  
provide visual continuity for the single and multiple cases.

Not sure about the item type, I didn't notice that being broken in my  
install.  I'll have a look...
