Recursive colletions and library root

mronkko
The behavior of Zotero pane and Insert Citation dialog seems inconsistent if recursiveCollections is set to false.

If I highlight the library root and search for an article in the insert citation dialog, the search covers all collections. If I do this same in the Zotero pane, the search covers only articles that are not associated with any collections.

Also I would like to have more clear instructions on where to report bugs ;)

    Given that this has actually been a feature request for about 3 years, it's safe to say this is not something Zotero does. And recursiveCollections=false is both the default mode and the only mode we test, so that's irrelevant. Restart Firefox, disable other Firefox extensions, try again. If you can reproduce it, provide a screenshot or screencast.

    What's not clear about that?

    Seems that I cannot reproduce this condition. Weird, but good that it is now gone.

    Two things: I was expecting to see "reporting bugs" as an item on the main support page. http://www.zotero.org/support/ Also it is not clear if bugs should go to feature requests forum or somewhere else.

    Well, "Getting Help and Troubleshooting" is the third item on the support page, and there's a "Troubleshooting" forum category (though the category really makes very little difference). "Troubleshooting" is usually a far more apt description than "bug reporting".
