Shift-enter authors

egh
Hi -

If I have an en existing entry with author(s), and I click in the first name box of an existing author, I cannot use shift-enter to add another author. The shift-enter trick only seems to work when I have just added a new author. Thanks.

    Works fine for me, but it will currently only add a new creator at the end, not in the middle. Is that what you mean?

    Hi Dan -

    This is happening consistently. I probably didn't explain it correctly. Here is what happens:

    Create a new item (a book, in this case). Enter a title. Hit tab. Enter Doe. Hit tab. Enter John. Hit enter. Click on "John". Type John. Hit Shift-enter. For me, this unselects "John" but does not create a new author.

    Thanks for your help!

    OK, reproduced. It seems to only happen on creators you've created that session. After restarting Firefox it works for me with the same creator.

    It appears to be fixed in 1.5, so this probably won't be fixed in 1.0.

    ok - thanks, just wanted to report the bug.
