Cannot enter dates of references

Martha B
I installed the newest release of Zotero this morning, and I now cannot enter the dates of journal or magazine citations (I have not yet tried books)--the cursor skips right over the field and it cannot be highlighted.

Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks.

    Yes, this slipped through into RC1, unfortunately. It only happens on Windows.

    We'll be releasing a fix very soon (within a day, most likely). Advanced users can make the fix themselves by following the steps in Modifying Zotero Files. See r1617 for the patch.

    Since this error only effects us Windows users, and the "modifying zotero files" tutorial is for a Mac, can you give me a hint where to look for this itemPane.css file on Windows?

    Thanks.

    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<randomstring>\extensions\zotero@chnm.gmu.edu

    We're working on a fixing a few more (Windows) bugs in RC1, and then we should be pushing a new version later today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thanks. I could have sworn I had already looked there :)

    Incidentally, I must be missing something in the re.zip->.jar phase, because after editing it and rejarring, Firefox appeared to not be able to read any chrome info from Zotero. I kept a backup, though, so it's cool. I can just wait for the new version push.

    Update to the problem: I can enter a date if I use the Tab key to get to it--otherwise, I can't do it if I scroll to the date field and try to enter data. I am running Windows XP and MS Word.

    Fixed in RC2, now available.
