Upgrade Storagedrag-n-drop ctrl+shift does not link files - Zotero 8 - ubuntu 25.10
Dear all,
I am not able to link files by drag and drop on ubuntu 25.10, Zotero 8 deb installation. While dragging, the cursor icon remains an arrow and files are added directly to Zotero storage. By adding single files as link from the menu it works.
Any idea? Maybe some shortcut conflict?
Here more details on the installation.
