Problem creating new collection
I've never had a problem creating a new collection, ...until now. Mind you, I have not done this often, but it has always worked. What am I doing that is wrong? It must be me, but what is it? a) I search for all entries in my database containing a particular term, b) I highlight the entries, c) I place my cursor on the first highlighted entry, d) I carry the entries to the new collection, and e) nothing happens.
I am using the latest version of Zotero.
Thank you in advance.

Is that collection in a different group/library?
When you drag & drop --> does it get highlighted?
2) Provide a Debug ID for a drag attempt that fails.
3) Find the smallest set of items that fail. You can do this very quickly by trying to copy half of the items at a time. If one half fails, try half of that, and so on.
The smallest set was 2.

Mr. Aurimas' question: My OS is XP, and, when I am attempting to transfer more than three items, "yes", a blue shadowy representation of the collection appears as I hover over the designated collection, but when I release the mouse, and enter the collection, there is nothing there.

Are these all regular top-level items with metadata? If any child items are selected, this won't work. Not totally sure what you mean by this.
