[5.0 Beta] Relations disappearing

    Until today, I did not encounter any problems with beta 5. Today, however, I found something strange: Newly inserted cross-links between entries tend to disappear mysteriously after a few seconds (If I link entry A to entry B, the link appears in B and then often vanishes. Sometimes it vanishes only in B, sometimes even in A) (version: 5.0-beta.177+d8fed09 on Linux).

    Can you provide a Report ID for after this occurs?

    Do you see them after restarting Zotero?
  • micha
    I could reproduce the problem after restart. However, (ID 1819279997) claims that nothing is wrong, maybe there is something useful in (D1209485949).

    I still fail to see when exactly the problem occurs, I cannot find any pattern up to now.
  • dstillman
    I assume this goes away if you disable auto-sync? Does it then happen when you sync manually?
  • micha
    The problem also occurs after manual sync.

    I just did a test (see D778066731):

    1. disable auto-sync.
    2. insert into entry A relations to entries B, C, D
    3. check whether relations remain stable and are shown also in B, C, D (they did!)
    4. sync manually
    5. check whether relations are still stable
    6. --> find out that relations in B, C, D are in fact gone.

    Just as an update: Problems with relations still remain in
    5.0-beta.184+d527c34
    E.g., after deleting in entry A a relation between entries A and B, the relation still shows up in entry B (before and after sync).
    (Clicking on the relation in B does not have any effect, though.)
  • dstillman
    OK, try in 188 and see if you still run into problems.
  • micha
    So far, everything seems to work just fine. Thank you so much!
