Cannot save web page that contains its own doi source citations, AS a web page

I have updated chrome and the extension and the desktop app.

Now (and, just before the update, but not a few weeks ago) when the page I want to cite has content that cites its own sources using doi identifiers, Zotero will ONLY offer me the page's sources and not the web page itself.

When I click the Zotero icon there is no choice to save it as a web page. It just opens the "Zotero Item Selector" dialog that lists all the doi sources cited by the page.

I need to cite the page, NOT its sources.

I think this is a newly introduced defect in the chrome plugin.

See e.g. https://isogg.org/wiki/Autosomal_DNA_statistics

right-click on the Save to ZOtero icon and choose Save as Webpage

And to be clear, this isn't new in any way — when there's no other metadata available for the page, the DOI translator always takes precedence. But in a future update, we'll be changing it to always offer basic saving of the current page at the top of the list even if only DOIs are available.

Right click on the Save to Zotero icon was not doing that. It was bringing up a browser context menu.

I tried it like six times.

I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it.

It still would not do that.

Now I try again, and it does what it should.

Sigh.

Thanks.
