On a domino view that has categories or children, when you expand an entry near the bottom of the view, it will skip a few entries and the next entry you see after the one you expanded is one from the next page. This behavior can be easily be seen in this forum by looking at the “date (threaded)” view and expanding an entry near the bottom.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It’s hard to provide any help when you haven’t stated what you would like for it to do.
You pretty much aren’t going to be able to change the behavior of the Domino web server. It generates these links that run when you click the twistie. If you don’t like what it does, I suppose you could put JavaScript code in onload to change the hrefs of the links – if there’s a URL command that results in your preferred behavior. Or you could have no twistie columns, and add your own passthru HTML to generate the expand URL on the server – though testing whether the category is already open could be tricky.

I’ve checked out the symptoms he’s described, Andre. It takes a bit of fiddling to find it (you need to click on one of only two or three twisties, depending on the view content). If the twistie is in the last ten or so view entries AND the entire entry can be expanded to fit on the same page (that is, expanding the twistie doesn’t cause the first-level children display to spill over onto the next page), then the entries that should lie immediately below the expanded entry (the ones that were below the entry BEFORE the entry was expanded) are skipped. They simply aren’t rendered. The first entry shown below the expanded entry will be the entry that used to be the second entry on the following page.
It’s definitely an edge-case scenario, but it is a bug. (I was fully prepared for a complaint about something that was working as designed as well.)
