1. Click on a collection
2. Click on a standalone note within the collection (or create a new one).
3. Edit the note.
4. Click on a different collection .
5. The edited note will now no longer appear within the original collection (it loses its affiliation).
This happens to me every time, on both my Mac and my PC.
Thanks for alerting us to this. It can be reproduced simply by editing a standalone note—the note will be removed from any collections it's in (though it'll remain in the library). This is now fixed in the latest dev build, and we'll have a 2.0b7.6 out that includes this fix by Friday.
As a simple fix for those not using a trunk build, download this file, copy it into your Zotero extension directory ('extensions/zotero@chnm.gmu.edu' within your Firefox profile), overwriting the existing triggers.sql, and then restart Firefox.
Thanks very much for the non-trunk fix---it worked like a charm.
(For what it's worth, before the fix, the edited standalone note was not removed from collections until clicking on another collection. For instance, if I edited a note in a collection, then clicked on 'My Library', and then clicked back on the collection, the note would still be there. But once I clicked on another collection, it would be removed. No matter though---it's fixed now.)
I've also noticed another problem with notes, but I'll start a separate discussion.
