Zotero shuts down when searching for file in file dialogue
Hello everyone,
I'm on Win10 with Zotero 5.0.88. When I try to link a file to an entry, and I use the search field in the upper right corner of the file dialogue that opens, Zotero shuts down. I can't even enter anything in the search field. As soon as I click on it, the window freezes and after a few seconds the Zotero window, including the file dialogue closes.
This is just a minor inconvenience because I can just search the location of my file beforehand, but I thought the bug report might be of interest to some.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
We'll be updating to a new version of the underlying application framework we use in the next couple months, and it's possible that that could fix some incompatibility. But again, this doesn't seem to be any sort of general problem.
