Zotero 7: Show tabs as "creator-year-title" not taking effect

lpurban
In Settings/General page, I changed the "Show tabs as" item to "Creator-Year-Title". However, what is shown on the tabs continues to show the beginning of the title. I have checked this, closed out of Zotero and restarted, but it doesn't change. The setting does continue to display with my choice in the Settings window.

User error of some type, or possibly a bug?
Thanks in advance.

    Does this still happen in Troubleshooting Mode? (Help -> Restart in Troubleshooting Mode...)

    And make sure that the item you're viewing actually has creators. What are their types? (Author, Editor, Contributor, ...)

    I restarted in Troubleshooting mode, and noticed that one of my tabs (with an Author) showed with author name. So I then clicked on some of the other tabs. Each one I click on, changes from title to creator name.
    I restarted NOT in troubleshooting mode, and that behavior continues.
    (I didn't try that before switching to trouble-shooting mode.)

    Now I see that if I open additional documents, they open with creator names.

    Just to check behavior, I changed the setting back to Title first. At first, there is no evidence of a change, however if I click on a tab showing creator, it then switches to Title.

    Zotero currently doesn't update the titles of tabs that have been unloaded to save resources. We should be able to address that in a future version.

    Ah - got it. Thank you.
    Given that, not super high on *my* list :)
