Items in Trash appear in the list of related items

qqbb · January 23, 2020

I noticed a minor issue in Zotero 5.0.82: Items in Trash appear in the list of related items.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Duplicate an item.
2. Add the duplicate as a related item of the original one.
3. Move the duplicate to trash.
4. Check the related items for the original item.

(Is this a feature or a bug? Isn't it somewhat helpful in case you accidentally deleted something, or if you are looking at the deleted item to still see which others it is related to? On the other hand, I can see this being annoying if you're the sort of person who rarely empties the trash, while I do so regularly and would only look in there to confirm before a permanent deletion.)

I'd say it's a bug that items in the trash appear for items outside the trash but not that non-deleted items appear for items in the trash or that items in the trash appear for each other. Issue created.
