Metadata content disappears after typing
Hi there,
Just a note to say I'm experiencing weird issues with Zotero 7 that I recall happened similarly in the early days of Zotero 6. Namely, content I add to metadata fields disappears either while I'm typing it or when I hit Enter. It's happening more frequently to me today for some reason, so I thought I'd say something. I've also noticed the disappearing is accompanied by the sync icon showing it's running so the way I've dealt with this is I start typing, wait for the sync to run, which deletes my content, then type it again and watch that the sync doesn't run again so it stabilizes. In case it could help, I ran a debug log (D957485993) while I was filling out an entry where it did the deletion thing as I filled out the Institution, Place, Report Number, and Author fields (for Report item type). Thanks!

dstillmanCan you reproduce this in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins?

tina_cardonaHi there - sorry for the delayed response. I have not done this type of work again since I wrote this post, but I will keep your request/suggestion in mind if I run into the same issue again. Thanks!
