BUG: Cursor disappearing in notes
I recently re-installed Zotero in Firefox (3.0.3) and Standalone (3.0.2) in Linux Mint 11 on a Mactel 64bit computer. For some reason, now when I hit "enter" in a note, the cursor disappears. As soon as I start typing, it reappears on the new line. If I click anywhere on the note, the cursor appears on the previous line. And, if I paste in a chunk of text, the note window doesn't scroll to the bottom. I have to scroll manually. This is a small bug but it's really, really annoying.
Does it happen in a separate note window and/or in the right-hand pane?
Does it happen in both Firefox and Standalone? If just the former, does it happen with other extensions disabled?
Does it happen in all collections or just some?
I will work on these problems and see if I can't replicate the bug in these settings. This may take some time...
The behavior was limited to Zotero standalone. The reason was because I altered extensions.zotero.note.css in Z Standalone's about:config file. I included the line "br {display: none}" in an attempt to get rid of <br /> tags when copying and pasting from PDFs.
Doing this made for some weird behavior, including what I describe above and one instance where the cursor started justifying right!
I've deleted the line and the note is behaving as normal.
(On a side note, is there a way to target and eliminate (ie, display:none) specific HTML tags? This could help clean up material cut and pasted from PDFs.
