[5.0 Beta] Instability in typing Korean letters.
As for the problem concerning typing of Korean letters, I bug reported last year : https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/52679/editing-notes-with-occasional-inconsistency/#Item_29
Until now the bug hasn't been fixed in Zotero Standalone version.
So nowadays I use {Zotero(4.0.29.10)+Korean firefox version(47.0)} without any problem.
Today I newly installed and tested 5.0 beta version, and found that there is the same errors concerning typing Korean letters.
I had no problems in typing English letters, but when I started to input Korean letters, the cursor went to the first line. I couldn't control it.
I tried many times and got the same results.
I recorded the screen for your understanding.
You can see the video at this link:

As you know, the typing errors in Standalone version aren't serious, because I have an alternative, that is, Firefox version.
But in this case, typing errors are too big problems for me who write the phD thesis using Zetero.
Please fix the bug. I look forward to good news.

The previous issue was a Firefox bug, not something in Zotero, so it's unlikely to have resurfaced in a new version of Zotero.
If you keep typing without stopping at all, does it ever happen? Or is it only if you pause briefly? My guess is that this is an issue with auto-saving.
But as you saw the video, I typed English letters and Korean letters in a row without any pause.
And... The phenomenon happened when I typed without any pause.
In your words, my guess is following:
1) If the problem is concerned with the auto-saving, why didn't the previous version (for example Zotero for Firefox 4.x) have the same problem with Korean letters?
2) Like in the video, I typed the Korean letters without any pause. Is there any possibility that Zotero regards 2-byte-language typing as typing with some pause and starts auto-saving in a new version? As I'm not an engineer, I don't have the answer.
If it helps you, I am willing to make another tries into video files. Just tell me what you want to see.
Can this help you find out the cause?
You can get the avi file in the following URL:

I hope you find out something meaningful in the avi file.
When the error happens, Modified time doesn't change ; when the error happened I wait for a few seconds but the time doesn't change.
Current version is Zotero 5.0-beta.r6+f9449b1
In the meantime, could you provide a Debug ID for one instance of this happening?
(It also seems like auto-save triggers while you're forming the characters — my guess is that the system intercepts the keystrokes for the Korean characters and doesn't send them to the application until they're complete, so Zotero doesn't receive the keystrokes and starts the auto-save. Probably nothing we can do about that, and the auto-save still shouldn't lose the cursor position.)
I did what was necessary for reporting Debug ID.
Thanks for your kind response. I will wait for a good news.
Is there anyone who can find the cause and fix it ?
I'm waiting...
But when writing notes "in a separate window", the auto-save concerned problem reappears. That is, from time to time the cursor comes back to the beginning position. Please have a look and fix it.
My Zotero version: 5.0beta.r29+d5b2f67.
Thanks~.
