[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Searching for items from multiple branches on an invoice

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Mary,

I have not heard of this problem before.  I tried a quick test on my dev
server (running master) and was unable to reproduce it.  I'm probably
missing some important nuance of the test data/setup, though.  I would
suggest opening a Launchpad ticket.  If possible, it would be good to see
the SQL logs showing the limit-by-invoiceable query that is failing to find
the correct records.
