minor feature/gui change request: author entry facilitation (existing authors in database)

floriand
I am using frequently the handy 'shift+enter' when literally typing new author names, but it would be even more handy if this feature would work also when selecting existing authors from the drop-down list.

Currently, the pointer goes back to the last name of the previous author when pressing 'enter' (or 'shift+enter') after selection of an existing author (with the down/up arrows). Is this meant to be?

Thanks for the nice work and helping us out with great citation management!!

    I'm seeing this too (on Windows) and am pretty sure this didn't use to happen, i.e. is a regression. I'm pretty sure this is not on purpose.

    Maybe it is an issue with one or multiple addons. For information, I am using:
    - Zotero Better Bib(La)Tex
    - Zotero LibreOffice Integration
    - Zotero Scholar Citations
    - Zotero Word for Mac Integration
    - ZoteroQuickLook
    - ZotFile

    I'm seeing the same behavior with no add-ons (other than Zotero integrations of course)

    This should be fixed in the latest Zotero beta, and the fix will be included in Zotero 5.0.45. Thanks for reporting.
