• Can anyone reproduce this bug? I can reproduce on a fresh install of Zotero 7.0.0-beta.17+8017b2ab1 (64-bit) on a fresh Windows 11 OS. See screen recording at 1:26 for the annotations to disappear. Debug ID: D179178798 If you merge items with PDF fi…

• I have made a fresh install of the beta 17 on a fresh Windows 11 OS. I have then added a single item from the Zotero connector (5.0.111) in Chrome Version 114.0.5735.199 (Build officiel) (64 bits): https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.88.061001 I do not…

• The data directory is the default C:\Users\mjthoraval\Zotero. Another observation: the crashes counter is incremented only if I use the top right cross to close Zotero. If I use File -> Exit, that deletes the counter. I have checked this because…

• I have updated to Zotero 7.0.0-beta.17+8017b2ab1 (64-bit), completely removed all the plugins and closed all the opened tabs. It is still doing excatly the same as my last post above. But if I restart with logging enabled, it does not increment the …

• Another important information that I have just identified to reproduce: you need to select the original item when merging, not the new item with external annotations. And by annotations, I have actually just made some highlights in the external PDF …

  in External annotations ignored when merging Comment by mjthoraval July 4, 2023
• After merging items "successfully" (which means seeing the external annotations in the merged PDF file in Zotero PDF viewer), clicking on "Import Annotations..." actually still deletes all the external annotations. Steps to reproduce: 1) Make an ex…

• Some more testing in Zotero 7 beta 15: - The Safe Mode is triggered whenever toolkit.startup.recent_crashes reaches 4. - The crashes count is incremented every time I restart Zotero, even with all plugins disabled. Report ID: 1588344448 just after …

• Yes, setting browser.startup.preXulSkeletonUI to false recovered the top bar. I still get a blank window with preXulSkeletonUI to false, both with blankWindow true or false: screen recording at 0:09. But I need to do a screen recording to catch it …

• @hsiangyu_wong I am trying to test further. I reinstalled Zotero 6, and tried to add again the plugin PDF Preview 0.3.7. But the preview in Info tab does not work anymore. I am getting this error: [JavaScript Error: "TypeError: iframe is null" {file…

• I have the same problem also in Windows 10, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.14+f1003a1d1 (64-bit). The workaround is working also for me. Here is a screen recording, switching a few times between the normal and -P startup of Zotero. I have submitted a Debug ID …

• Removing the top bar is actually nice, if the top right buttons could be moved to the same level as the tabs, in the same way as in Firefox. But the double click issue is more problematic.

• @hsiangyu_wong I was just using the cross at the top right of the Zotero window. I have never had any problem like this in Zotero 6. But I cannot even check anymore different ways to close Zotero, as I have lost the top bar (nothing in the top righ…

• The Safe Mode is also triggered by the Zotero Better Notes plugin (1.1.4-0) and the Zotero PDF Translate plugin (1.1.0-0). These 3 plugins are from the same developper, so I am not sure if there is an issue in Zotero 7 or the same mistake repeated o…

  in Zotero 7: Stuck in Safe Mode Comment by mjthoraval June 27, 2023
• Yes, it was at 27. I have deleted it. After restart, I am not in Safe Mode anymore. Thank you. Reloading the plugin still gets it back to Safe Mode. I will report to the developper.

• The update process in Zotero 6 also had similar problems (needed manual restart to apply the update), but at least the "Check for Updates..." was able to give a notice when there was an update. In Zotero 7, I won't even know if there is an update un…
