[Zotero 7 Beta] Deleting or restoring collections is not updated in the Item Pane of their items

edited June 29, 2024
When I add an item to a collection, or delete an item from a collection, the "Libraries and Collections" section of its Item Pane is immediately updated. But for deleting or restoring a collection, it needs either to switch to another item, or even restart Zotero, before the content of the Item Pane of the items belonging to that collection is updated.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Add an item to a collection
-> Its Item Pane is updated immediately
2) Delete that collection
3) Go to My Library and click on the item that was added to the collection
-> The deleted collection still appears in the Item Pane [which is wrong]
4) Switch to another item and back
-> The deleted collection does not appear anymore in the Item Pane
5) Restore the deleted collection
6) Go to My Library and click on the item that was added to the collection
-> The restored collection does not appear in the Item Pane [which is wrong]
7) Switch to another item and back
-> The restored collection now appears correctly in the Item Pane

The problem gets more serious when the item belongs to multiple collections:
8) Add the item to a second collection (it now belongs to 2 collections)
9) Delete the second collection
10) Restore the deleted collection
11) Go to My Library and click on the item that was added to the collection
-> The restored collection appears in the Item Pane
12) Switch to another item and back
-> The restored collection still does not appear anymore in the Item pane [which is wrong]. Switching items cannot solve the problem when the item belongs to multiple collections. The only ways to get the second collection appear in the Item Pane again is to restart Zotero or add the item to another collection.

13) Go to the second collection
14) Delete the item from the collection
-> Nothing happens
