Line Spacing in Zotero 4.0.14 Standalone Client is too Narrow

ssauerw · November 9, 2013

Zotero 4.0.14 (Standalone)
Windows 7 x64

After updating to the new 4.0.14, my zotero standalone client looks like this: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=42a7ceb

It seems like the line spacing between records are much smaller and the active record marking is misplaced. Is this a known issue? I have been using zotero for 5 years now and that's the first time the presentation in the client is off.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks, Dan

Quick follow up question: Is the 4.0.12 version still available for download. I'd like to downgrade to the old version until the fix comes out with 4.0.15.

Thanks!

Previous versions follow the same URL pattern as the current download URL:

Wouldn't the downgrade be impossible without restoring the old database due to the db upgrade? (I've actually noticed that in some cases I was able to revert to 4.0.11 from 4.0.14, but in other cases I was not. Not actually sure why. Was the db upgrade conditional?)

Yes. You can't downgrade (without swapping in the backup database) if you enabled full-text syncing when prompted the first time you synced with 4.0.13/14.

We'll try to put a new version out by Monday with the fix for this issue. In the interim, the easiest workaround is just to use the 4.0 Branch dev XPI in Firefox, where this is fixed.

Thanks for the fix - I am most appreciative!

ssauerw · November 11, 2013

Thanks Dan! I'm looking forward to the fix. Any chance it will go up sometimes today :)

All: Same problem here. The line-spacing issue makes working with zotero really hard; plus I already upgraded the DB and can't downgrade. Is the fix coming out soon? Thx!

aurimas · November 12, 2013

Should be released some time later today.

Thanks much!

Zotero 4.0.15 is out now with the fix for this.

Looks like the spacing for collection tree may now be too large in both Standalone and Firefox (Windows 7)

Edit: nvm, I think my eyes are just getting tricked by the relatively smaller collection icon (when compared to journal article)

Yup, it's the same as the middle pane.
