• A workaround is to add the items you're going to merge in "Duplicate Items" to another temporary collection. I use a similar workaround. But I prefer using coloured tags, as I find it easier than moving items between collections. I first sort the it…

• Thanks for looking into this. The problem indeed goes away when I disable the DOI Manager plugin on the other computer. I will report it on the GitHub of the plugin.

• Currently, the shortcut to save the Abstract or the Extra field in the Info Tab is Shift+Enter. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/keyboard_shortcuts To be consistent, I think it would be logical to keep the same shortcut to save the annotations.
