Alice, I had a little time to look at this today, and figured out the fix. I've described the fix as a comment to the issue in Jira:
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-378 You should be able to fix it in your version by adding the template I detail in DS-378 to your local XMLUI theme. It will be fixed out-of-the-box in DSpace 1.6. Let us know if you have any other questions. - Tim Platt, Alice wrote: > Ahhhh! I'm so glad to hear that there is a reason for this weird problem!
