Upgrade StorageDuplicate Entries Appearing When Adding New Items via Zotero Connector
Report ID: 2125396448
Bug Description:
When I use the Zotero Connector in Google Chrome to add a new item to Zotero, an issue occurs if the newly added item is the first item in a collection (i.e., the most recent item when sorted by date).
In this case, Zotero displays two identical entries for the same item. These entries appear to be linked or synchronized.
I have tried the following:
1. Deleting one of the duplicates: When I delete one entry, the other entry is automatically deleted as well.
2. Manually merging the duplicates: The merge appears to work initially, but when I leave the collection and reopen it, the item disappears entirely.
This issue seems to occur specifically when the newly added item appears at the top of the collection.
Expected Behavior:
Only one entry should appear when adding a new item through the Zotero Connector. Deleting or merging duplicate entries should not cause the item to disappear entirely.
Actual Behavior:
Two identical entries appear. Deleting either entry also deletes the other, and manually merging them causes the item to disappear from the collection after reopening it.

(You should also test in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins, but moving your data directory would be the first step.)
