With option "Show only the single term." selected it feels uncomfortable to get the full list of terms when starting /glossary. As admin I've selected showing only the single term because I expect the full list could become too large.

It would be more logical in this case to just show the letters/numbers and maybe an instruction line to invite the user to click one of the letters/numbers. This would also feel quicker to the enduser.

The second part has been on my TODO list for quite a while, perhaps it's time to dust it off.

Your first part is why I now have the option to not show the descriptions. I have some thoughts on how to do this, but it would be another setting. In the mean time you can change the menu item (or create a new one) that goes to glossary/123/lettera (123 is the correct vocabulary number) or any other letter - even if it is not in your alphabet.

The instruction line is there now. (One TODO I can finally cross off.)

I replaced line 594 (module version 1.121.2.18 2008/04/02)

      if (!$letter || $term->let == $letter) {

with this:

      if ((!variable_get('glossary_click_option', 0) && !$letter) || $term->let == $letter) {

And it behaves as I would expect it to.

[edit] missed the 2nd argument on variable_get [/edit]
