[Koha] Duplicate records showing up after z39.50 import

[Dillon Moore]

Thanks Emrys,

Our cataloguer has entered a few with Firefox and has had no duplicates
show up so far. I hope this solves the problem!

What browser are you using?  I've seen this behaviour happen with IE7
and below.  Firefox is recommended.

Hi everyone,

I'm using Koha Version 3.00.01.005 on Debian.

We've been trying to re-catalogue some of our books. To do this, the
cataloguer brings up the current record in the catalogue, deletes all
items, then deletes the record. He then searches for the book through
z39.50 and imports a new record. After making whatever changes are
necessary, he saves the record, then adds an item.

The problem we've had is that duplicate records with no attached items
are sometimes (not always) showing up. These are not the old records
stripped of items - they are duplicates of the new records from z39.50,
always without items, and sometimes missing quite a few of the MARC
fields (ex. in one case there were no fields above 3xx).

I turned on the cataloguing log, and it looks like a duplicate record is
being added just when the cataloguer adds a single new record:
2010-03-10 20:28:04     31      CATALOGUING     DELETE           biblio
6158 
2010-03-10 20:33:12     31      CATALOGUING     ADD             biblio
6160     biblio
2010-03-10 20:33:12     31      CATALOGUING     ADD             biblio
6161     biblio

Anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this?
