May I ask, what was the rationale behind the reason why the tag selector box -which, for some reason, appears separately now when clicked on the tags- crops up on the right side of the screen rather than the left side, right next to the annotations ???

@OsmanHB: Not sure what you mean. Can you provide a screenshot of what you’re referring to?

I just noticed that this happens with most sources I added a while ago --like a week ago. Though, I have yet to confirm that this is exclusive to these sources.

@dstillman attached is the screenshot.

On Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS with Zotero 7.0.0-beta.85, the tag window in the pdf reader is stuck in the upper-left corner:

I have a similar problem when using two screens: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/108893/z7-beta-annotation-tag-pop-up-opens-on-wrong-screen#latest

@poettli: I think that's unrelated — I suspect that's a bug when using Wayland. All new windows are currently popping up in the top-left corner under Wayland.

@dstillman Makes sense
