Right panel in the PDF reader displays info for wrong item when opening additional tabs

FeralFlora · March 8, 2023

Like I wrote in the title, when I have multiple PDFs open in tabs and open an additional tab, the info panel is out of sync with the current item, so to speak.

This can lead to confusion, metadata errors and tags being applied to the wrong file, etc.

Edit: This is due to the plugin Zotero Night. Disabling it fixes the issue.

To get the panel to match the current PDF, I have to switch to another tab and then back to the current tab, at which point it will match.

Is the zotero-night add-on installed? https://github.com/tefkah/zotero-night/issues/88

FeralFlora · March 8, 2023

@poettli Yes... Just tried to disable the plugin, and the bug disappeared and Zotero behaves as expected. Thanks for the info! Guess I'll keep it disabled until that bug is addressed.

I won't put to much hope into this bug being addressed anytime soon. Also, could you kindly edit the title, as it is not a zotero bug

Any news ? :D

@aureleg
If you take time to follow the github link, the issue is still opened

aureleg · August 8, 2023

Good point! I'll be patient ;)

@aureleg You'll probably have to wait for Zotero 7. This is what the developer wrote in the last release notes from June:

"This is probably the last release for Zotero 6, I will be focusing on Zotero 7 compatibility moving forward. I will try to make it work with 6, but no guarantees!"

Oh thank you for pointing this out!

FeralFlora · August 8, 2023

@aureleg No problem. By the way, there are also other ways of achieving dark mode in Z6, like https://github.com/dracula/zotero, although I haven't found any to be fully satisfactory. Can't remember if the Dracula Zotero theme also causes this issue, but the Zotero Shadow theme does, and the Zotero Theme addon too.

I'll give it a go !
