Deleting a quotation mark deletes the whole annotation

samvimes

Hi,
as I am extensively using the new note editor, I noticed some counterintuitive behaviour - I am not sure whether it is intended this way or a bug.
When deleting the closing quotation mark of a citation in the note editor, the whole paragraph is deleted. As I often have to delete the closing quotation mark (i.e. to change their style into German quotations marks, to merge two quotes, etc.) this behaviour is a bit annoying and might be worth reconsidering!

Thank you!

This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Zotero updates. Thanks for reporting.

Perfect, thank you!

In 6.0.8. the problem persists at the beginning of quotes - deleting the first quotation mark still deletes the full quote. As far as I can see it's fixed for the closing quotation mark.

I've just noticed that the problem (deleting a leading quotation marks deletes the whole quotation after it) persists in 7.0.0-beta.39.

I can't reproduce this. Could you make a video demonstrating the issue with the first quotation mark?

While making the video I've managed to narrow down the problem, I think; it occurs when deleting the line break preceding the quotation and then deleting the quotation marks. Video here: https://heibox.uni-heidelberg.de/f/43528035eb0e48eda44c/
