When Do Notes Save?
I seem to be losing notes on occasion. I am wondering when notes are saved. Perhaps I am shutting down or exiting the browser before notes are saved.

In the Firefox add-on - what arggem says. Saving is near instantaneous. There were a couple of reports of lost note content related to auto-syncing a while back, but I believe that was fixed. Which Zotero version?
Many of my notes are not saving. It is true that the notes automatically save after about 1 second when I stop typing. But then when I resume typing in the same note, it never saves again.
To work around, I copy the note after I'm finished, click somewhere else, click back to my note (where now most of my text is missing), and paste the entire note back in to the note file. That seems to save it all.
Obviously that workaround shouldn't be necessary, Dan may have follow-up questions, I'm not sure what he'd need for troubleshooting.
Also, have you checked that the note hasn't actually been updated if you restart Firefox — that is, that this isn't simply a display issue?
