[Zotero 7 Beta] Fireworks of internal popup windows when opening a PDF file

mjthoraval · June 24, 2024

Many popup windows appear when opening the first page of this PDF file: https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2014.35 [PDF file sent to support@zotero.org with a link to this post.]

It seems to be related to that previous problem:

In the next update, we’ll fix the issue where all popups are rendered at the same time. However, please note that interactive PDF popups won’t be displayed on hover because scripting isn’t supported in Zotero Reader.

Thank you.
Hopefully these popups can be replaced by the new automatic extraction of references, figures and equations.

Yes, we expect that to work with many more documents in the future. But for now, we aim to make it more stable and show fewer false positives, even if we sacrifice some valid results.
