Comment 33 for bug 1840773

I also experienced the behavior John describes in comments #31 and #32 and recreated it several times.

I tested checking out an item with an alert message and an item with a Canceled Transit status. The ability to check out the items was inconsistent. Sometimes the checkout was successful and other times I got a message There was an issue checking this item out. Please ask a staff member for help.

The message does not clear if going to View Items Out or View Holds.

I tested in Chrome.
