Upgrade StorageUI density confusing
Great that you can change UI density for different devices, but the difference in functionality is confusing.
I was trying to demonstrate Zotero Web Library to some students and could not understand why, when I clicked on the fields with a mouse, it would not allow me to edit the fields. Eventually found out is because it had detected I was using a touch-screen device, even though I was using it with a regular display (at the front of a classroom).
Most web forms are set up that allow you to use touch and mouse to edit fields. Not sure why this is different.

Even if the touch UI is rendered, clicking with a mouse should switch to a desktop-optimised version unless your screen is very small or you override this in the settings menu available from the header bar under the cog icon. If above does not apply and this doesn't happen, we’d be interested in knowing what browser, OS, and device you are using.
While in touch mode, there is an "Edit" button that enables field editing. This behaviour is designed to match the Zotero native app on iOS.
Clicking 'Edit' with the mouse opened up the record, but clicking any field on that screen with the mouse closed it again. We did not make any changes to the default settings. Only touching the screen on the device in the correct field allowed editing. To use mouse control, we had to go to settings and override the automatic UI settings to allow mouse control.
I think many users will find this very confusing.
