[Bug] Item Type selection status persisted between items

kassiansun · May 7, 2024

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select item A, update item type to Book
2. Select item B (or any other items), the Book has a checked mark in the Item Type dropdown list (the item is not actually selected in blue color)

This status is persisted even between collections, it seems to be a global status persistence

Can you reproduce this in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”)? If so, can you provide a Report ID and a screenshot?

Any update on this? I think this should be a easy-to-reproduce bug, it's really annoying because updating item type is common in my workflow

I do see this visually (i.e., it's clearly appears to be a bug), but I'm not clear how it actually affects functionality, i.e. would be more than a very, very mild visual annoyance? It's not like it actually changes the item type of the selected item or does anything else for that matter?
