Title field is not visible anymore after creating a new item if a section is pinned in the sidenav

After creating a new item, the Title field is selected, and it is directly possible to type the title. In the previous Zotero Beta version, with one section of the sidenav pinned, the item pane would be forced to shift vertically so that the Title field that is being edited is visible. This was broken in the last beta. The Title field is still selected but not visible, as the item pane is moved to the pinned section. Typing some text makes the Title field visible again.

Sorry, unsuccessful attempt to fix https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/115450/zotero-7-beta-wrong-vertical-position-in-the-item-pane-after-switching-from-a-note — reverted for now in 7.0.11-beta.7.

Thank you. This is working again in the beta.7.

This is better in the latest beta, but still has a small problem.

0) Click o an item B with a PDF preview expanded.
1) Pin the Libraries and Collections section of the sidenav
1-2) Click on the Attachments section in the sidenav without unpinning the Libraries and Collections section, so that it loads the preview of the PDF file of item B
2) Create a new item A manually

As I tried to reproduced the steps I describe above, I realize that it does not always work. To make it work, it has to load the PDF preview of Item B before creating the new Item A. I have modified the post above with the additional steps.
