item.uri does not get me to the online item
I ran into two issues:
1. Main issue: the online version of Zotero no longer scrolls down to show the item. I.e. if the item I am looking for is on the top of the list it is selected and shown. But if the item is down the list beyond the screen I cannot see it even though in theory it is selected.
2. item.uri points to http:// rather than https:// (this is not the source of the problem but still should be fixed I think)

The http:// doesn't matter, though. zotero.org has been in the HSTS preload list for many years, so all modern browsers will redirect http:// URLs to https:// before they hit the network.
Note: I know that one can get that link via Zutilo. But this is for teaching research with Zotero to undergraduates and I need a simplified setup for that with minimal plugin installations. Thanks!
In any case, the existing setup will work once automatic scrolling for item URLs is restored.
That being said, it is a known issue and we might consider adding some sort of user interaction to fetch all items so that item from the URL can be scrolled into view.
