I have a blog that has next and previous thumbnails displayed. I notice that when I click back a few entries it gets into a loop, where the same thumbnail is displayed as ‘previous’ for several entries.
Trying to diagnose the issue, I go into the manage entries interface in MT and start clicking back and the same behavior happens. I click back from the most recent entry and at some point I’m thrown back to a certain post and MT switches what is next and previous, so using those links don’t work. (For example if I’m looking at entry ID 2505, the next entry is 2506, but the interface links to 2506 as “previous”). I can’t quite figure out the pattern, but jumping around the site it seems like you can move forward back one or two entries correctly and then it links to a certain entry erroneously which causes the loop.
Has anyone seen behavior like this before?
Reported on Movable Type 4.2
Just wanted to add an update to this thread in case anyone ever searches on it. This group of entries that is giving me problems is an imported set and because they were imported they have very similar time stamps.
Wondering if, at some point between 4.0 and 4.2, maybe MT started handling entries with the same minute and second time stamps differently? Were there milliseconds that were rounded to seconds or something along those lines?
Known bug. It's assigned to the upcoming Frampton maintenance release, though doesn't appear to have been resolved yet.
