Upgrade StorageWrong assignment of attribute edits
When editing the attribute of one Zotero item (Document A), if the user navigates to another Zotero item (Document B) before confirming the edit, the newly entered information is saved to Document B rather than Document A.
Zotero version: 7.0.13
Operating System: macOs 15.2 (24C101)
Zotero version: 7.0.13

I was under the impression that I was on the most recent version, but I suppose the auto-update function was bugged. I assume for a similar reason, I had some trouble with updating and even uninstalling zotero. I managed to delete it eventually via right-clicking on the app in the application folder and clicking "move to bin".
Installing the current version seems to have solved my original problem though. Thank you very much!
So, to replicate the bug one needs an item with multiple entries (see first image). Now follow these steps:
1) Pick a file (here PDF1) and click the Title attribute for editing the title of the file in the right-hand side panel.

2) Edit the entry of Title (here from PDF1 to PDF3)

3) Now, instead of confirming the edit by, for example, pressing return, click on the another file (here PDF2). This will result in PDF2 being renamed to PDF3 instead of PDF1 being affected.

This seems to be only a problem for the Title attribute. However, when following the same procedure when editing the Filename attribute, results in a canceled edit all together. I suppose this is a bug as well.
