Interesting bug that terminates the session in the 1950 Review screen

I've experienced this 4 times now. If you start with a searched name, say "Carter," it starts you at someone named Carter, but then you just go on from there. HOWEVER... if you hit another Carter, the session is forced to restart. As someone who knows enough code only to be dangerous, I'm assuming the web team would find this pretty fascinating.

    My experience is a little different. When I start with a name search (O'Brien) sometimes the first name is O'Brien but not always. If not, O'Brien will be further down the page. Then when I do the last entry on the page I sometimes get the pop up: "Something went wrong on this page. ..... wait a few minutes and try again." Option is to: "cancel" or "refresh". If you cancel the same pop up happens. When you do refresh, it takes you to a new page and your count starts over (1 of 20)

    This morning it happened multiple times doing Florida ....... even before I got down to the last entry in some cases.

    I suspect it's related to the name search because when I got out of the Florida session, did another state, and then went back to Florida without starting with a name search it did not happen at all.

    One other bit of info: I ended the Florida session and then went back in and did the name search O'Brien again. The screen said there were no O'Brien names to review. So now I'm wondering if I got the "Something went wrong on this page" pop up notice earlier was because there were no other O'Brien names.

    Hope this makes sense.

    I have had the same as above, but I have also found that when using the 'app' and the last entry on the page is a 'not a person' option, it will not close out the page and bring up another page, so you have have to use the back arrow.
