Notes behave oddly
I am working on a project that involves many free-standing notes that I will combine into a book.
I have been sorting my library by type so that I can see all the notes at once and scroll through them, tagging them according to where they will appear in the book.
Whenever I change the tags on the notes, they move to the top of the list of notes. When I scroll around at the top or bottom of the list, the notes rearrange themselves in what appears to be a random manner making it difficult to remember if I have edited them all. They behave similarly at the bottom of the list.
Finally, when I attempt to select and copy lots of them into another Zotero directory, standalone Zotero crashes!
Here is the error number:
2031510942

dstillmanWhat column are you sorting by, exactly? Adding/removing tags on an item shouldn't change its modification time, and sorting by item type sorts by the modification time after the item type. We'll need exact steps to reproduce. First, what do you mean by "crashes"? If you mean that you get an error in the middle pane, provide a Debug ID for a drag attempt that causes that. If you mean a freeze, you may just need to give it more time to finish.
