Field loses focus when Zotero window/tab loses focus

Driftless · August 9, 2012

Currently when entering information, into a record, if I change windows or FF tabs (to look up the information) and return to Zotero, the field I was editing has lost focus and the tab-sequence has returned to the top of the window. This makes entering data maddening. Is there a way to prevent this?

Happens in both Firefox (FF 14 / Z 3.0.8) and Standalone (3.0.3) on Ubuntu 10.04

From a very quick look at this, it seems like this should be possible (at least for switching away from the window—I didn't look into the tab situation). Issue created (and we'd happily accept a patch for this).

bump - the loss of focus when changing windows/tabs really slows down data entry (Standalone 4.0.23, OS X 10.10).

Done. Available now in the latest 4.0 Beta. It'll be included in 4.0.25.
