Zotero 7 Beta: Drag and drop movable annotations to outside the PDF file moves the annotation

mjthoraval
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a PDF file in the Zotero PDF Viewer
2) Zoom the PDF Viewer so that the PDF file covers the full center pane
3) Make a Note annotation (third button in the top toolbar)
4) Click and hold on the Note annotation to start a drag and drop process
5) When you move around the Note annotation (still holding your click), you can see a grey rectangle following the movement. If you move quickly to outside the PDF Viewer center pane, you can see that the rectangle gets stuck on the last position it remembers inside the PDF Viewer area, on the side where you have exited the PDF area. It does not always get stuck, so you can try a few times to see this happening.
6) After getting this grey rectangle stuck, just find a location where the drag and drop is "allowed" (where the mouse is not replaced by the "Prohibited Sign" icon), like a Zotero note or external note taking app. [The allowed dropping location curiously includes the tabs bar above the PDF viewer toolbar.]

If the Drag and Drop is released outside the PDF Viewer area, it should not move the annotation.

    Good observation — we'll fix it.

    I also have a similar problem. Zotero seems to have canceled the drag-and-drop annotation function. I cannot drag annotations in zotero to external software. I can only use Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C to quickly copy.
  • martynas_b
    @qq1067237855 I can't reproduce that. Can you provide a Debug ID for it happening?

    没有Debug ID，似乎是zotero禁止拖拽。

    Does it help if you disable all third-party plugins?

    I mean you have to enable debug logging, then perform the action, and then submit it as described in https://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output#debug_output_logging

  • qq1067237855
    Is it because of the translation plug-in? I uninstalled the translation plugin and still have the problem. My Translation plug-in: https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-pdf-translate
  • martynas_b
    @qq1067237855

    No, the "Translate" means it's using Zotero Translators and isn't related to the Translation plugin.

    Actually, I don't see any issues on Zotero's side that would prevent dragging from working.

    Could you test dragging into Notepad?
  • qq1067237855
    Thank you for your patient answer. Zotero prohibits dragging annotation notes to any third-party software (word, PPT, Excel, Notepad, Obsidian, Typora, etc.). Only dragging to Zotero's built-in notes is successful.

  • martynas_b
    I'm wondering if anyone with Windows 10 can reproduce the dragging issue. If not, then there might be something in your system interfering with the dragging functionality.
  • qq1067237855
    1. In the previous version of zotero, you could drag and drop it directly into obsidian, but it seems that it doesn't work after updating to zotero7.
    2. I tried closing all software on my computer and then running zotero, but the problem still seems to exist.
    3. This problem exists with zotero on my friend's computer, and the netizens I asked about also have this problem.
