Hi,

I can't reach the Combine/Separate page for Joy Wilt Berry.

First noticed a few days ago, thought it was a hickup and left it for later, but it still shows up empty (i.e. the correct layout is shown, only the space where the works should go is blank).

Just me, or a bug?

Thanks in advance!

Did you try scrolling down? I am seeing a huge blank space, but I see books to combine further down the page.

Win 8.1, Firefox 46.0.1

Just checked and I found the books listed but they are below a chunk of blank space. Had to scroll down to find them but they were there. A bit weird but not totally missing for me. W7, FF46.0.1

Whoops, yes, there they are! Sorry! Just hadn't encountered that big blank space before ...

Edited to close bug!

Isn't it a bit of a bug that there's something there that causes it not to wrap properly?

It isn't happening with other authors. I suspect it is because the first title is too long:

18 "A Children's Book About: Teasing/Being Bullied/Being Mean/Disobeying/Complaining/Being Forgetful/Being Wasteful/Lying/Cheating/Snooping/Gossiping/Overdoing It/Being Bossy/Breaking Promises/Showing Off/Being Rude/Being Lazy/Tattling (Help Me Be Good, Set of 18) by Joy Berry

All those /s prevent wrapping. It had to go lower so as not to run into the boxes on the right, so not really a bug.

There's spaces there where a line break could go.

I think it's the text "Promises, Bullied, Careless, Cheating, Complaining, Destructive, Fighting, Forgetful, Gossiping, Greedy, Interupting, Lazy, Lying, Mean, Messy, Rude, Selfish, Showing" a little further down (I added spaces here), combined with the fact that it's all marked up in a <table>, so the whole shebang goes to the next place it fits (it could be better if it weren't in a table if it weren't in a table, at least the first work would show at the top).
