I'm running into an intermittent problem with one of my forms.
I've tried to implement a batch destroy, and it works most of the time, but 1 time out of 10 it won't work, in the console I get an empty POST request with no paramaters.

Here is my view:

<h4>Suggestions </h4>

<%= submit_tag "Delete selected", form: "suggestions-delete-form", class: 'btn btn-danger' %>

        <p class="card-text"> 

          <% if @suggestions %>

            <div class="table-responsive-sm">

              <table class="table-sm", id="suggestion-table">

                <tbody>

                  <%= form_tag collection_batch_destroy_path(@collection), method: :post, id: "suggestions-delete-form" do %>

                    <% @suggestions.each do |s| %>

                      <tr id='suggestion'>

                        <th style="width: 4%"><%= check_box_tag "item_ids", s.id, false, class: "form-check .selectable-checkbox" %></th>

                        <td><%if s.search.term.include?("-") %>

                              <%= Hpricot.uxs s.search.term.capitalize %>

                            <% else %>

                              <%= Hpricot.uxs s.search.term.titleize %>

                            <% end %>

                        </td> 

                        <td style="width: 4%"><%= link_to fa_icon('plus-circle'), collection_item_choose_path(@collection, s),{  method: :post, class: "btn btn-primary btn-sm text-right" } %>

                        </td>

                        <td style="width: 4%" id='delete-suggestion'><%= link_to fa_icon('trash'), collection_item_destroy_path(@collection, s),{  method: :post, class: "btn btn-primary btn-sm text-right" } %><br>

                        </td>

                      </tr>

                    <% end %>

                  <% end %>

                </tbody>

              </table>

            </div>

          <% end %>

        </p>

These are my routes:

  resources :sellers, only: [:show] do

    resources :collections, shallow: true do

      match 'item/choose', to: 'items#choose', via: 'post'

      match 'item/remove', to: 'items#remove', via: 'post'

      match 'item/destroy', to: 'items#destroy', via: 'post'

      match 'batch_destroy', to: 'items#batch_destroy', via: 'post'

    end

  end

And here is my controller:

  def batch_destroy

    @collection = Collection.find(params[:collection_id])

    if params[:item_ids] && params[:item_ids].size > 0

      Item.where(id: params[:item_ids]).update_all(suggestion: false)

      flash[:success] = "Suggestions successfully deleted"

    else

      flash[:danger] = "No items were selected"

    end

    redirect_to collection_path(@collection)

  end

Here is an example of a batch destroy that worked:

And here I'm doing the same action (selecting some items, clicking "Delete selected", but it results in... nothing:

As you can see, despite having checked some boxes, rails doesn't pass the corresponding IDs. I also get the flash message: "No items were selected".

This happens in both dev and production.
I would really appreciate any insight you might have. TIA!

EDIT:
Just removed will_paginate pagination on this form and now it works like a charm.
Anyone know what might be causing this?
