PubMed weirdness

If I go to PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez/) and enter search terms (e.g. "Smoking Parkinson's disease") and hit "Go", I get a list of results (406 in my case), and Zotero properly shows the folder icon in the location field to let me pick the references I want.

However, if I click on one of the references, I don't get an icon to incorporate the chosen reference. (I use Display: AbstractPlus). The URL in this case is very long, e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18006950?ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum
Now if I switch to Display: Abstract, the URL is short (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez) and the Zotero icon is visible. If I now switch back to Display: AbstractPlus, the URL is still short and the icon is still visible. It seems that Zotero is confused by the long URL.

Thanks, cheers, and all the best for the new year,
Axel

P.S. I just noticed that if I use a short URL such as http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18006950 , the Zotero icon won't show up either.
  • I've just returned from the holiday break and I'm having the same problem. I get the Zotero icon if I use Display: Abstract but it doesn't appear if I use Display:AbstractPlus. Before the holiday I was regularly using AbstractPlus without a problem.

    Thanks
