Bug Description
If we group search results by format/edition in the OPAC, then click to view the holdings of that group of records, then click to place a hold on a specific format, it will sometimes show the title for a different format.
In the attached screenshot, there was a group of titles that included "Gone with the wind" (which was for a book) and "Gone with the wind [videorecording]". I clicked to place a hold on the book record, but it shows the title for the DVD record. It still appears to place the hold correctly, just shows the incorrect format sometimes (not all of the time).

This is a tough problem to fix. The issue is that there needs to be a bib that represents the group. The group of bibs is decided by your settings in Evergreen. If you decide to group all the formats into "same title and author" - and the system chooses a "leader" as the displayed record for the group. That leader might be the video version. Either the cataloging needs to change, or the system needs to (at the very least) only display the title that they have in common, stripping any extra stuff that the leading bib might have.
Just some thoughts.
