[Koha] Subject links not obeying 'UseAuthoritiesForTracings' setting

[Andy Boze]

Thanks for your reply, François.

We have UseAuthoritiesForTracings set to "Don't use", but the results 
we're seeing in the OPAC is exactly as you describe it should be for 
"Use". (Well, with one exception. The author is not linked to an 
authority record, only subjects and added authors, etc.) We don't use 
Koha's XSLT.

For our purposes, since we're not really interested in the authority 
links, we've now removed the XXX$9 subfields from all the bib records, 
at least until we can find a remedy for the problem.

We'd be interested in hearing from others using Koha 3.14.7 who could 
confirm that the "Don't use" setting is having the expected results.
