Problem with column width adjustment

marcinkoculak
This is a bit hard to explain, but since couple of days the controls for column width adjustment behave wonky - when I click on the border between two column headers it automatically moves all borders to the right without any mouse movement on my side.
Next, when I try to pull one border to left, others also move, but to the right. When column reaches minimum size it is impossible to expand its width.
This might be correlated with the update fixing the sizes of columns from couple of days ago, but I haven't registered after which update this problem began.

I am on Windows 11 + newest beta release.

    Can you produce a video showcasing the issue, upload it somewhere and post a link here?
  • marcinkoculak
    Yes, here is a demo
    https://youtu.be/wlDAbnFsByQ

    The first part is showing single clicks on the border.
    In the second half I am trying to resize back a minimum width column.

    What's the resolution of this screen? Is it better if you lower the size of the window?

    @adomasven The same thing happens to me! Just like what @marcinkoculak shows in the video. My screen resolution is 1920x1080, and it still happens when I lower the size of the window.

    Platform: Windows 10 (Version 21H2)
    Zotero Version: 6.0.7

    The resolution is 2560x1440.
    When I try it on another monitor (1920x1080) or change resolution to a smaller one (1366x768) results are the same.

    This should be fixed in the latest Zotero beta. If you try that, let us know if it solves the problem for you.

    The fix will be included in Zotero 6.0.8.

    Yes, it solves the problem for me. Thank you!
  • marcinkoculak
    Can confirm, everything is great on the 6.0.8.
    Thanks!
  • dstillman
    Zotero 6.0.8 is available now with this fix.

    This problem persists in 7.0.9 (64-bit)+22631.4460 (Windows 11)

    @Lichengwei07: We would need to see a screenshot in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins. This was fixed years ago.

    @dstillman I have a similar problem, but only with Citation Key column (using Better Bibtex). Should it be fixed by Better Bibtex not Zotero?

    This behavior starts after BBT calls Zotero.ItemTreeManager.refreshColumns(). If I don't do that, the problem does not appear.

    The problem is reproducible for @yhkang926 with another (non-BBT) column
    • Uninstall BBT & restart Zotero
    • Open Tools -> Developer -> Run Javascript
    • Paste in Zotero.ItemTreeManager.refreshColumns() and click run
    (The conversation can be found here but since this reproduces without BBT I don't think I need to be involved)
