Restart in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins. If that fixes it, you'll need to identify the plugin that's causing it and then report the problem to the plugin's developer.

If it still happens, provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for reproducing it.

thank you! I've tried it once, but it still doesn't work

Start by updating to Zotero 7, and see if it happens with all plugins disabled.

If it does, we'd want to see another Debug ID for reproducing it with all plugins disabled.

Did you do something weird with your Zotero data directory? Symlinking your 'storage' folder or something like that?

Yes, I linked the storage folder with my Baidu web drive to make it easier for me to view the literature across devices. I did the same thing with another device, but it still worked

Sorry, you'll need to undo that.

That might work on some systems, but it's not a supported configuration.

ok.thank you!
