Highlighting problems
I've just started trying Zotero today, and I'm having problems using the highlighter. I've watched the screencast and followed it (I think) exactly, but with no joy. I save a page as a snapshot and then open the snapshot. On the Washington Post's pages I can highlight without any problems, but the changes aren't saved. On the Washington Independent's page it's all very sketchy- sometimes it highlights, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it highlights part of my selection only. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong- as far as I can tell it's pretty simple, and I'm doing what the screencast said to do. Can anyone help?
For reference, here are a couple of the articles I've been trying to highlight:

I should add that I'm using Firefox 3 on OS 10.4.11, with the latest version of Zotero.

I could not replicate your problems with saving highlighting. Every few seconds your highlights should save. Does this happen with any other pages?
I'm trying it again on this page, and only certain parts of certain paragraphs will highlight for me:

Still having the same problems with the Washington Post as well- I can highlight, but even if I leave it for a while the highlighting doesn't save- it's all gone the next time I open the snapshot.
This happens to me sometimes, though sometimes highlighting works as expected.
In any case, does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem is and when it might be solved?
