Upgrade Storage[Zotero 7 Beta] Time delay when doing a drag and drop of an item
Steps to reproduce:
1) Select an item in the Items Tree
2) Click and hold
3) Move to another collection
-> It takes 2 to 3 seconds before the mouse icon changes to add the "+" showing that it is moving something.
Debug ID: D746086577
Zotero 7.0.0-beta.74+2e8073ab9 (64-bit) in Troubleshooting Mode
Windows 10
The time delay occurs before the first line appears in the Debug Output:
So nothing much, but there is probably something wrong here.

If I simply drop before getting the moving mouse icon, the drag and drop is still successful, but the mouse icon quickly flashes moving mouse icon after finishing the drop.(3)(+0009035): Dragging with format {"mode":"bibliography","contentType":"","id":"http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa","locale":""}

I've also encountered this issue as it impacts a plugin I've built. It was reported by one of my users on GitHub.
As far as I can tell, I believe the issue stems from the citation generation process. What's interesting is that it appears to be significantly impacted by which export format has been selected. I've captured a screen recording where you can see that the BibLaTeX format has no delay, the Chicago format has a minor delay (which is hard to see in the recording), and the APA format has a multi-second delay.
I discussed workarounds for my plugin in the Zotero dev mailing list, but I'm finding it difficult to understand the citation code so that I can implement the workaround correctly. Ideally it'd be nice if the delay issue could be solved in Zotero itself.
