Duplicates not showing on Add Books page

The page that opens after adding a book and lists recent additions no longer indicates that you already have one. (The work page still shows you have other copies)

Confirming

Confirmed.

I added 2 books that were different formats of the same work on Saturday, they showed up in Recently Added as duplicates.

Added a new book I added on Saturday today - that does not show as a duplicate.

Looks like something broke on Sunday.

I have been able to duplicate this as well.

1. Added book already in catalog
2. No message about duplicates appears in the Recently Added module
3. Duplicate is noted on the work page, under "your other editions"

I have reported this.

Same as SandraArdnas

When I click on the title I have searched for in the search results I no longer get notice of duplicate ISBN or the message about similar entry. One or the other of these messages only appear after I have entered the edit page, added information and saved. This is annoying.

does anyone respond to these bug reports? it has been a week and no one has responded either here or on Talk. Nor has the problem been quietly corrected. What gives?

Anyone who has an L next to their name is staff. Abigail was able to reproduce the problem and now it's in the hands of the developers who will get to it when they can. Keep in mind that LT is run by a small company and they only have two or three developers

FWIW, refreshing the page shows the duplicate notice in red or green as usual. This isn't particularly helpful to immediately detect you already have the book, but it might help trace the bug.

This was fixed previously.
