Navigation problem on Edit Posts page

    I just installed WordPress 1.0.2. First, let me say that I love it. It’s a real step up from what I was using before. However, I am seeing a problem in the Edit Posts page.
    I currently have about 19 posts in the system, and right now the Edit Posts page is set up to show them 5 at a time. That works fine.
    The difficulty is that none of the options in the “Show posts:” box at the top of the screen seem to have any affect. For example, if I click the button marked “5>” to see the next five posts, WordPress creates a new URL that appears to make sense:
    /wp-admin/edit.php?showposts=5&poststart=5&postend=10&submitnext=5+%3E
    However, the new page still shows the same 5 posts it did before. It’s as if edit.php completely ignored the options. The same thing seems to happen for any of the options in the “Show posts” box. Changing any of them and clicking “OK” seems to create good URLs, but the new page is exactly the same (including any options I tried to change in that box).
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I figured it out. My site has “register_globals” turned off, and whoever wrote edit.php left out the little snippet at the top that registers the variables submitted in the URL. It’s on a lot of the other pages (look for code that uses an array called “wpvarstoset”). I’ll post a complete patch for this once I’ve had time tonight to make sure it’s complete.
    People on sites where “register_globals” is on won’t see this problem.

    This bug still exists in 1.2
