Unable to select tags from my notes
Hi.
I opened up my Zotero the other week after not using it for a couple of months and I'm unable to select the tags that I've attached to notes.
I've updated Zotero and looked around but can't find figure out what is going on.
If anyone could put me in the right direction it would be super appreciated.
thanks
Duncan

Also thanks for pointing me back to the Steps to Reproduce page.

Steps to Reproduce

2. Click on entry and add note.
3. Add already established tag to note.
4. Unable to click on tag in the tag selector.
Can you take a couple screenshots that show some of the things you're describing, upload them somewhere (e.g., Dropbox), and provide a link here?

Tags associated from the top menu bar are fine but any tag related to a note can't be selected.
thanks.
You have the "A" tag selected, which matches the parent item. Note that the child notes are gray, meaning they're context rows that don't match the current search.
When you click a tag in the tag selector, it filters the item results, and it updates the tag selector to show only the tags that match the currently visible items — i.e., tags that exist along with "A" on those items.
The child notes aren't matching the search, and so their tags aren't shown in black. But since you have "Display All Tags in This Library" enabled in the tag selector, it displays all other tags that don't appear on any current search matches in gray. Adding a tag to a child note makes no difference, because the item still isn't a search match. If you unselect "A", you'll be able to click on the tag assigned to the child note.
I was able to live with out those tags (A & a) so I ditched them hoping that might help.
I've put another screen shot into the dropbox link starting with NEW1. Here I put in a new child tag (Indigenous RELATIONS) and I'm still unable to select any tag.
Just tried that and then also closed and restarted Zotero.
There's a screenshot NEWTEST_ in the dropbox folder.
That hasn't kickstarted either.
Yeah it's definitely an odd one and I'd tried everything I could think of before coming here. I'll keep plugging away at it and see what happens.
Once again many thanks and really appreciate you having a look at this.
