Adding Child Notes in Zotero for Mac

Bug -
Zotero for Mac 4.0.29.5

I have a list of references in a library collection.
I select a reference, for example, A journal article.
I select the menu item to add a child-note to this reference.
As I do, every other reference in that collection or sub-collection that has a child note attached to it, opens, revealing all their child notes as well. You can see the program chugging through all of the references, identifying those with child notes and preparing to open each one, when in fact, I only want to enter a child note on the reference I am working on.
  • @dmarkwa: Tried replicating this on my Mac (10.11.6 /FF 45 ESR /Zotero 4.29.12). All three ways to create a child note on an entry (button, right-click-menu, shortcut) produce a single note immediately without opening any other items. Tried the same in Zotero Standalone (which I assume you're using) and creating a note is instantaneous and works as expected. Which OS are you using?
  • El Capitan 10.11.6. Using Standalone, which I should have mentioned.

    I just tried it again, and it worked perfectly as you describe.

    At the time I was experiencing this behavior, I was off line. I tried turning off wifi, to test, but it worked perfectly. Sorry for the bother
  • Great, may all things be that easy…
