Open Office 3.2 (linux) plug-in, focus issue

DewaldNoeth
This is just a suggestion or a bug, but when inserting a citation into a document the focus stays on the document and does not go to the citation selector. This might sound like a small thing but I'm writing a thesis in Biochemistry, so almost every sentence in the introduction gets a citation. If the focus was in the search bar when I click cite it would save me about 30min a day.

    a new plugin is in the works that will work much more smoothly, including, hopefully, taking care of focus issues - though linux windows management is always a bit of a problem. I believe if you google some you can find some immediate solution for this issue, at least for Ubuntu, but I can't guarantee that they still work.

    Thank you for the response, hopefully the new one will also support offline citation. I don't always have Internet access
  • adamsmith
    you don't need internet access to cite, that's a misunderstanding (in fact, I often turn internet off when I write, so I know this for a fact).

    That's weird, cause even if I change firefox to online mode zotero still does not want to let me cite. It keeps telling me it needs to be in online mode.
  • adamsmith
    which Zotero and plugin version are you using? Which Linux specifically? Which FF?
  • DewaldNoeth
    Firefox 3.6.18 on Ubuntu 64bit 10.10 running Zotero 2.1.8 with OOo plugin 3.5a2

    wow, so many numbers... hehe

    It's possible that Firefox is automatically entering offline mode because it detects you don't have an internet connection. You can disable this by following these instructions.

    Thanx Simon, I'll try that
