Upgrade Storagecreator field brings down zotero
error log 1097758385
I can reproduce this every time: it happens when entering a name in the creator field. First, I switch to a single field, then start typing "Charles I, King of England". There is an entry on the saved entry list that matches this string, but I think it's a two-field entry. Trying to select it from the pick list for input into the single field seems to be the problem. Half of the entry--the part before the comma--may appear, but the box never turns solid. The next action I try to make will trigger a message to restart Firefox.
If I type the whole name (with comma) out manually, nothing bad will happen.
I have a *possibly* related issue that I cannot report separately, because it does not create an error: it just doesn't work like it seems it should/will. It does not seem to be possible to use the entry pick list if there is only one item that matches a partial input. For example, if I start typing "bru" it offers "Brussels" on the drop down list, but I can't pick it whatever I do. It is very similar to what happens above, only without the crash.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
This still happens to me, but the above may be an overly complicated explanation. If I start entering a name in the creator field, like "Charles I, King of England," and the auto-fill list has only one match for the string, trying to select it from the list will crash Zotero. I must write the name out in full to avoid it. It seems to be associated with the single-field name option.
Thank you
