I get the same sort of thing accessing Lib from my ipad ... i.e. no sorting allowed and the message has different location ( set@http://192.168.1.4:8080/:10878:130 )

Fixed in next release or clear your browser cache and reload.

This issue was bothering me, so I looked into it, and seem to have found the cause of the issue. In
"src/pyj/session.pyj", the UserSessionData.set function was using 'key-||-library_id' as the key to search the all_settings dictionary. However, since all_settings doesn't seem to keep track of the user's settings with the library_id, the resulting value was undefined and an error was thrown upon attempting to use .local on it.
I have attached a patch I created to mitigate the issue before the next stable release. While it did pass the tests provided in setup.py, I have not had much time to test it myself, so it may cause other issues I am unaware of.
