PS..
Navigating to a given series using the LHS menu Series seems to be working fine.

Is this for every series or only specific series?

Was going to say that it crashes on every series I have tried thus far..

Just logged in to try a few others today and now it's all working as expected...!

Thanks for the attention though.

ah wait.. I can now reproduce..
I think it depends on the existing Library display settings.

I have order set to 'Author (First Last)
and 'Collapse Series'

Then, with those display settings it crashes every time.

Could it possibly be because I have a few series where the author has only a single name
e.g 'Alien', 'Tolkien'...
