"Saved Search" jumps back to "My Library"
Hi all:
I normally use a "saved search" to work in Zotero (I like to filter out some items). This worked fine for many years. But after the 5.x release, I noticed that the "saved search" jumps back to the "My Library" top-level entry occasionally (often after I save new items to Zotero). This means, I have to click the saved search again.
Is this a known issue?

I guess one option here would be for the selection in Zotero not to change for the automatic fallback to the root and to only change if you then made a subsequent selection. (So if you chose a different collection, the search would no longer be selected, but if you just let it save to the library root, the search would stay selected.)
1) Saved search is highlighted
2) I search for a paper -- search returns no results
3) I save the paper to zotero
4) Paper is saved and My Library is highlighted
5) I have to click the saved search again
The solution you outlined sounds good! The reason I use a saved search is that the search results are cleaner. Specifically, when I search in "My Library", the search results also show the pdf files. The saved search that I created shows "only top-level items". Is there a way to show "only top-level items" in the "My Library" view?
