Zotero bookmarklet stuck in infinite download loop
Couldn't find this issue in the forums. When I use the bookmarklet to save a reference, about 10% of the time the page stays open actively downloading multiple references as long as I leave the page open. This obviously slows everything down and generates extra work. Anything I might be doing wrong? My university uses a proxy bookmarklet to access paywall sites. Perhaps this is causing a problem? Thanks for any assistance.
I was using the add to Zotero bookmarklet on a windows PC with Zotero open. This generated at least 5 identical references each with PDFs before I had to force-quit zotero.
I can confirm that this error has not occurred on the same machine when Zotero is not open.
Thanks.
I am able to reproduce some oddities with the Bookmarklet (Bookmarklet in Chrome and Zotero Standalone). Here's a Debug ID from ZSA for one of the failed saves from the URL above D1827073827 In this case there is a clear error. I have also had the save fail/get stuck without error. I'm trying to reproduce that more reliably.Ignore that please. It seems that resetting translators got interrupted and I didn't have the complete set.Edit:
The following is with Zotero for Firefox at the HEAD of 4.0 branch with server mode enabled and Bookmarklet in Chrome.
The save gets stuck with a message "Saving via Zotero Standalone...", the item is created in Zotero though. Debug ID D901424285
I don't think changing browsers will make much of a difference. Actually, for me, the bookmarklet does not detect Zotero Standalone when saving from Firefox (so that could be another bug).

And does it occur on all pages? Wondering whether it's specific to the HighWire 2.0 translator.
