Create Item and Note does not work when Zotero is in app-tab mode.

pfconcolor

Using Windows 7/FF4.0/Zotero 2.1.5.

Situation: zotero is running in an app-tab. I highlight text in a content tab, right-click the selection, drill down to "Create Zotero Item and Note from Selection" and click on it.

Result: Zotero item and note are NOT created at all. No item. No note. No anything.

If, however, I'm running Zotero in a browser frame, the item and note ARE created.

Am I doing something wrong or are my expectations wrong?

Thanks.

I just discovered something else...

If I "unpin" the Zotero application tab, the item and note are also properly created. (although the process still doesn't handle apostrophes properly)

Based upon some of the dialog elsewhere on these forums, it appears that Zotero's developers believe the FF4.0 app-tab to be the ideal place to keep the Zotero user interface. I do not disagree with them but, if the application is going to rely on the app-tab, I think that all of Zotero's functions should work properly in that context.

So much for my two cents.

...still looking for a solution...

This should be fixed, obviously, but we've never said such a thing.
