Click "Show all 73"
The covers blink, and return as before. You are not shown all 73.

I get the same behaviour with Chrome on an Android phone.

I think the show all button was reintroduced after the dynamic shelves were introduced. Not sure if it was actually fixed though.

>1 DuncanHill: Are you clicking on the check box? Because that was my first thought, and I agree, that doesn't show all the covers. But when I click on the link "Show all 73," and then click on "show more," then it shows them a lot more (48 or so, I think). So the check box is a red herring, but you can see most of the covers by clicking the two links sequentially.

>3 waltzmn: That would be because it isn't a checkbox. It's a slider for dynamic photo shelves. You click and hold, then drag the box down to reveal more covers.

No, I'm clicking on "Show all 73", like I said. If I was clicking on the check box I would have said so. "Show more" shows more, but not all 73. I'm not raising that as a bug because something that says "show more" and actually does show more isn't a bug.
"you can see most of the covers by clicking the two links sequentially" - or even just by clicking "show more" first. But that's not the point. The point is "Show all" doesn't show all. That's a bug. If I only wanted to see more, but not all I wouldn't click on "show all".

You're both right. But on my screen, it looks like a check box with a label, so the appearance is that you need to click on the box to show all.
So, apart from the fact that it doesn't do what it says, it sure tempts you to do the wrong thing. To me, that is the bug.
