Hi Heather,

I think you make some good points and I am not aware of any existing 
bug. If you could file one that would be great.

The MARC preview for auts has all the tag labels (e.g., 455 ## - SEE FROM TRACING--GENRE/FORM TERM) and I already know all that—IMO, anyone looking at the MARC preview already knows all that.  So it's not really a MARC preview—it's a repeat of the regular display in one pop-up window.  I don't like this, because I want a way to see an unlabeled MARC aut record in one screen—to be able to look at it, read it, etc., quickly.  There is currently no way to do that, and I think having the MARC preview repeat all the tag/field labels that are already present in the regular display is redundant.  I would love​ for the aut MARC preview to be exactly the same as the bib MARC preview, so there is a way for catalogers to quickly see an unlabeled MARC record that they can examine, scan, read, etc.
