Upgrade StorageZotero item selector pop-up bug
Debug ID: 1677503265
When I try to save a page or a pdf from the Zotero chrome extension, the Zotero item selector pop-up with a line from a page that I had already saved in Zotero, and without the page or pdf that I want to save. The problem started to occur when I used the item selector for the first time to save multiple articles from a single page. After that, the selector keeps appearing ever for a single document or page.
I tried to save a PDF from the chrome reader :
-If I try to bypass the problem by going in the extension options / save to Zotero (DOI) / then the item selector pop-up with the same old line reference.
-If I do the same path, but save to Zotero (PDF), then there is no pop-up and in the drop down menu it asks where I want to save the file (as normal), but after a few seconds this message appears : "An error occurred while saving this item. Try again, and if the issue persists see Getting Help for more information." The file is still downloaded, thought.
If I try to save an article from a web page (blog-like), it works. If I go by the extension options path, Save to Zotero (DOI) or (PDF), then the item selector pop-up again with a list of references that I already have downloaded.

And can you reproduce this after restarting your browser?
At the moment, the page and PDF saving function works on several sites without any issue. However, the problem of the Selected Items dialog appearing persists on certain WordPress pages:

It appears as a folder item for saving :

rather than a file, causing the extension to attempt automatic saving from a DOI, which triggers the appearance of the Selected Items dialog :

If I use the extension option to request saving as a PDF, it works and sometimes creates a parent document in Zotero (but this is not always the case). But as you can see, the document in the dialogue box ("Salomon Maimon ...") is not the one I want to save (any page where the dialog box pop-up). It's still the same one since I started this discussion, as if the extension remains stuck on this document.
