[5.0 Beta] note writing: cursor jumps to beginning of note, last changes lost

jhimmelreich

Hi

I encounter the following problem with 5.0 beta. When I am writing a paragraph in a child note, after a while the cursor jumps from where I was typing back to the beginning of the note. I thereby type at a point where I didnt want to type. Furthermore, as the cursor jumps up to the beginning of the note, the last few words I typed are lost. Maybe a problem related to syncing? Seems to happen when I am online.

Let me know if you need more information etc.

This is still quite a problem. When writing a note, every once in a while, i lose a few sentences because they just disappear. Am I the only one with this problem?

This started happening to me, maybe 3-4 updates ago. I also switched computers (from a dying Samsung to a healthy new Lenovo), so perhaps it has something to do with the machine; although, it's not a problem in any other program I run through Windows 10 or Ubuntu. I've never lost more than a few letters -- never whole sentences -- but it's still irritating. I can't think of a time it's happened on my chromebook (through crouton), but I don't use it that often because of tabby UI things. In any case, I had guessed a sync-issue also, but there ends my troubleshooting competence.

This is still happening. Only on my Windows 10 Lenovo. Now at Zotero 5.0.34.5.

If you can reproduce this reliably, could you generate a Debug ID for it happening?

This problem was solved for me (macOS) after some update last year. thanks
