Description

Describe the bug

When I try to add contacts to a group (contacts -> contact groups -> select group -> add members) it omits most of my contact list (50 entries in total, omits probably half).

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to contacts
  2. Click on groups (add one if you have none), then click on the three dots next to the group name, then on "add member"
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the list
  4. See error: Contacts just stop showing

They dont show up.

I have no idea what webserver is running. I suppose it is apache but I haven't had to deal with it yet and I don't see that info in the admin section. Sorry.

Research direction

Verify that all contacts appear for a group with about 50 contacts, then add coverage or a fix that makes the complete list visible.
