Zotero 7 Beta: Breaking Item Pane from one PDF file

mjthoraval · January 27, 2024

I have found one PDF file that breaks the Item Pane when selected from the center pane of My Library. See screenshot.
Windows 10
Zotero 7.0.0-beta.55+9151fb355 (64-bit)
Debug ID: D2096424235

I get exactly the same problem with the same file on Ubuntu 23.10:
Zotero 7.0.0-beta.55+9151fb355 (64-bit)
Debug ID: D6473354

That file has been severly tortured. I have tried to reproduce, torturing other files in a similar way, but that I have not managed to reproduce the problem. But it is here to test if you think there is something interesting.

Just one observation I could make: If the Annotations section of the Item Pane is collapsed, it does not trigger the problem anymore.

I have finally been able to reproduce. You just need to put a long text without space in a comment to an annotation. Then expand the annotations sections in the Item Pane when selecting the PDF file in My Library.

So similar to the problem with the abstract (which got fixed already):

Just an update on this: the bug is now moving the whole Item Pane out of screen:

When the problematic PDF attachment is selected in the library tab, it also breaks the PDF Reader tab:

Thanks! We'll fix.

Thank you.

OK, will be fixed in the next beta.

Fixed now in beta 85

Thank you. It is fixed for long comments on annotations.

But I see the same bug also for long tags on annotations without space:

I still see this problem for long tags without space on annotations:

Tag: "---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
