Landscape covers on series page run over with no "see next"

This series is all landscape - so instead of being able to show the usual 12 covers, it shows 6 and a tiny slice of the seventh. There's no scroll bar, no "next" or "see all" link (as there are on series that have more than 12 books/covers). Is there any way to have the page notice it's running over and change the number of covers in the shelf? Or something?

To spare the developers a little time (since I had to dig around for it), here is the link to the above series:

And I see it too. Macintosh, OS 12.6.1, Firefox 107.0.

I know conceptDawg is working on those book displays/shelf views, so will leave this for him.

Yes. This is a bug as old as time. This has to do with some calculations and "guesses" that happen on the server regarding covers.

This will be solved soon(ish) as I roll out the new display code for shelves across all of LT.

Thanks! Two weeks, huh? It's always worth the wait.

Should be fixed with update of shelf code, but can verify at that time.

I'm going to close this. But only because this is a known bug and is certainly going to get fixed with the shelf rewrite. It has been reported dozens and dozens of times so I know that this is an issue. But it is an inherent weakness in how the covers are being displayed with the legacy code (trying to guess the number of covers based on average width).
