Bug in adding books
When a book is added and the title is the same as a book already in the library and the author is different, the book is flagged as a possible duplicate. Can this be fixed so it needs the title and the author to match?

No. Matching by title only is deliberate. There are too many accidental author variations in the wild.

Why not make it an option? That would give those of us that want title & author matching what we want and other can have it how they want.

Of course you could also do title & similar author naming. So for example if one was title & LN, FN and the other was title & FN LN then it would match and be flagged as possibly the same.

That's what the duplicate finder plugin is for. That gives you all the options you could want.
