[Koha] Holds on items waiting to be pick-up or in transit

[BOUIS Sonia]

Hello,
I think there's an issue with the possibility to place a hold on items waiting to be pick-up or in transit when you choose that on shelf holds are not allowed.
In this case, items are not checked-out so there are considered to be available. But, they aren't, they are not on a shelf ready to be chosen by a patron but stored aside.
So, other patrons should place a hold on it as they couldn't go on shelves to take it.
I have been testing it on a master and it's the same behaviour.

So, I have 2 questions :
1. Does everybody share the same logic than me?

2. There's a bug describing this problem (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4319), but the status is reopened and the patch had been pushed in 2011. Should we open a new bug?

Thanks,

Best regards
