UI bug: attachments stay "stuck" outside a reference after dragging inside
Sometimes I have a "loose" PDF (without associated zotero metadata) in Zotero that I want to "file" into a Zotero record. To do this, I drag the PDF onto the relevant record. However, there seems to be a bug in that, when I do this, the PDF now appears BOTH outside ("loose") and inside the zotero reference. If I have my brain on, I just refresh the Zotero view by sorting, or going in and out of a collection, and the apparent duplication goes away.
If, however, I don't have my brain on, I see that extra "loose" PDF and delete it. Whoops! The attachment in the reference disappears too! Now I have to go find that PDF in the trash and bring it back - a pain.
Could this minor bug be fixed? Files should appear to move immediately when you drag them and not need to wait for the screen to refresh.
Thanks,
