New items do not appear automatically in active collection
My typical workflow is to highlight a collection, open a database such as Compendex, search for journal articles, and add them to the collection using Zotero's site translator. For quite some time now, when I add an item it won't automatically appear in the collection even though it has been added. I have to click on another collection and then click back on the collection I was working with for the new item to show. Something like a forced refresh. Note, items always get added, it's just that they don't show up.
Is this a bug or a limitation?

Using Zotero (4.0.16) with Firefox (25.0) on Windows 7 64-bit and Word 2010 32-bit.
Try disabling all other Firefox add-ons and try again, see if that makes a difference.
Dan, Okay.
I paid more attention to this issue last night and observed it occurs more often when I am in the Unfiled Items "collection". It does not happen each itme an item is added to My Library. Yesterday, out of fear that the doctors have been informed, this ailment occurred only 2-3 times for every 10 items I added. It seemed like the issue occurs when I am moving between many screens/Firefox tabs.
