Zotero crashes on tags (report-ID: 1037006191)

cvolmar

I have one tag, that produces an error, everytime i add it to a note. It's called "Äußerungsmodalitäten", but i don't think it depends on the word. i get the message that zotero crashed and i have to restart firefox, after i restarted firefox, the note appers again, but without the tag added. When i then try to add some other tags, it gets weird, because it can't remember the tags, or it adds other tags, or it shows "2 tags" while it displays 4 tags, etc. I added it to several different notes, and it was the same everywhere, so it must depend on the tag, not on a note.

I deleted the tag and since then everything works well again.

I'm not sure if this error was already posted, but i hope it'll help you make the Zotero Sync-version work.
Kind regards,
christian

New problem with a tag: I have onr tag, which is still displayed, although it's not connected to any note, book, etc. It's displayed grey, while the real tags are black. I can rename, but not delete it. I restored the local Zotero-data from the webaccount, and the tags was not shown - but when i then synced zotero, it was there again.

Maybe this issue is connected to the one i described above. Although the tag from above was deleted and stayed so for one day.

Is the tag still on any items in your trash can?

cvolmar

no, there were no items in my trash can. the tag was not connected with any item anymore.

by the way, the problem was suddenly fixed when i upgraded to the beta version. now everything works fine.

my first sync failed (with a small database) with last error "tag 'blah blah blah ...' too long. I deleted all tags and still can't sync with the same "last error"
