  • Dan, My database does pass the integrity check. I am using a local library only (I have no group libraries) with only manual blue tags (I have automatic tags turned off and I have no automatic tags in my database). The tag selector DOES ma…
    in tag adding/removal problem Comment by tdquinn September 20, 2010
  • Hello Dan, Per your message, I investigated whether this problem persists in a "vanilla" setup of Firefox. Attempting to remove a tag from a library item did not cause my menu option Actions>Report Errors... to switch from gray to active, so…

  • Dan (or other Zotero developers), I have the same UI-refresh problem when removing tags. Here is what happens: (1) After selecting a library item in the center pane, I select the Tags tab in the right pane. Typically, I have multiple tags …

  • Dan, Even more weirdness. I was able to recreate the problem with another author, adding a middle initial, then adding a period. Toggling extensions.zotero.purge.creators to 'true' and reopening the Zotero pane, however, *did* remove the orphane…
