Clicking on the heading for a library at the home page opens "suggestions" and ignores user settings

[Nestar 15]

Home screen settings for the account in question are configured to have the default screen for every library as "Movies" or "Shows". However depending on where you click for each library some links will ignore this setting and always go to "suggestions". The my media lists at the top of the page and the side bar both work fine. But the heading above each individual library does not.

 

This seems to be a server-side bug as it affects all the web client, android and the new linux beta.

(I am technically running this on linux server, but based on what this is I expect it probably affects all versions of server)

It has always been like that, header click opening Suggestions page  for both Movies and Tv Shows  content-type libraries.

It wouldn't be a new feature in this case, The option to set this already exists. It just doesn't affect those links because they have a hard-coded value tacked onto the end of them.
 

&tab=suggestions

Also just tested it out using the browser element inspector, and deleting that section out does fix it.

Well the Latest Rows have always been Suggestions as that is how the page is sorted ie Latest/Release date.  

And Library entries will be per your home screen landing page setting.

The suggestions page doesn't make sense as a follow up for that purpose. The home page shows 16 items. Clicking the library takes you to suggestions which also shows those exact same 16 items. If that were the logic it should be going to the full list and enabling sort by added date filtering automatically. As of right now you have to go to suggestions, then click again on the heading to get to the actual list and then manually add those sort options. So it takes several clicks to get to what you originally wanted to do. Rather than following the user settings and doing it in 1 click.

They are two separate option per home screen and the latest headers should not just go to the library as the library is usually never sorted that way.

My Media options will always be different then Latest Rows options.

There are already two entry points to desired landing tab for any library (My Media and sidebar), I prefer header click as-is, linking to Suggestions, mostly for content discovery.
