zotero disables keyboard input on webpages

Thanks in advance. I've posted this before, to no avail. I'm running Vista.
Process: enable zotero. search for articles using a website's search text box (ie, SF Chronicle at www.sfgate.com, search archives)
After taking two snapshots, sometimes three, of articles, can no longer enter text of any kind into any text box on any web page. I have to close the browser and start again. This renders zotero nearly unusable.
Get error messages such as:
[JavaScript Error: "this.selection has no properties" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/collectionTreeView.js" line: 155}]

[JavaScript Error: "$("div.expand-listitem") has no properties" {file: "https://addons.mozilla.org/js/addons.js" line: 9}]

I sent in another error report, but don't have the report number. Last time was 16898211.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
  • Hi Rubin I just tried to duplicate your issue and it seemed to work fine for me. I searched through www.sfgate.com for 5 different items, took snapshots of each one, and had no issues with typing. Can you try disabling any other extensions you are running and see if the problem persists?
