PMID lookup silently fails on 2.1b5

wilvc
Anybody else have this issue? When I lookup any PMID on 2.1b5 (macos x, firefox 3.6 or 4.0), the lookup does not lead to a citation insertion, and no error message is produced.

Thanks!

    Works fine for me. You'll need to provide a report ID. Also, nothing will work in the Minefield nightly builds; they made a last minute API change that will break everything until 2.1b6.

    Would love to provide a report ID, but the "Report Errors" menu listing stays gray! As for Minefield, this lack of functionality appears on Firefox 3.6 and 4.0(beta), so I don't think it's a Firefox error.

    DOI lookup works fine. It's only searching for a PMID that seems to fail.

    More info : the citations *are* being added to the library, but not automatically added to the Group Library that is selected/being viewed when I'm adding them (functionality that used to occur seamlessly).

    Thanks. I've tracked this down and it will be fixed in 2.1b6.
