Upgrade Storagetwo small bugs in Zotero 7
1. When I am entering a new author and tab into the "first name" field after typing the last name, the field is only active for a second, and then gets deselected, and I have to click again. The field should stay active after tabbing from "last name."
2. In Advanced Search, when I type search words in the search box and then switch to a different field, the text disappears and I have to type again. It would be better to have the text remain. Use Case: I search for an edited book (Title field), then I'd like to see if I entered any chapters from that book separately and switch to Publication field--the search text is the same, it would be better not to type it twice. Another Use Case: search for a name in Creator, to find books by an author, and then in Title, to find articles/books about this person.
