Oddly behaving photo albums -- Viewing ...

Recently I created a fourth photo album in one of my user test accounts. I added about 40 sample photos that I plan on using as commercial references for work that I've done. Creating the album, uploading the photos, and viewing all of them on the browse page of that album was no problem at all. But if I click on the first photo - or any of them for that matter - which then displays the large photo in slideshow mode with the arrow on the top right ...

 

... I can only seem to view 3 photos at a time, and that's it. The first one that I click on, and then the last two that I added to that particular album. It's always those last two photos that show up as number 2 and number 3, then the arrow disappears and the only option is to return to the previously (TWO) viewed images. This is obviously quite annoying since it totally defeats the purpose of having that big picture slideshow in the first place.

 

I did check another member's public album and the problem did not exist there. Is it possible that this issue has something to do with the fact that I moved those last two photos over from another album that I already had? Has anyone else tried to move photos from one album to another, and then checked the results?

 

We just upgraded to 7.04 and so I'm not sure if this problem existed in earlier version too.
Any ideas what could be causing this strange behavior - any fixxes out there? Thanks.

Okay, this is clearly a bug which persists at least through version 7.04

Apparently if you move photos from one album to another (same account), something causes the browse/slideshow to stop working. The moved pictures show up in the new album alright, but when you click on any of the pictures ... followed by trying to keep the sequence going with the back/forth arrows, only the first selected photo plus the newly moved photos are viewable. So if you had 50 photos in the album and you moved 3 new ones into it from another album, you'll be able to view those 3, plus the first one that you initially select (if it wasn't one of those 3 moved photos).

 

However, as soon as you delete the photos that you moved, the back/forth slideshow works correctly again.
THE SOLUTION: Instead of moving photos from one album to another, locate the photos on your hard disk again and upload them new.
