Looks like the 24th time is the charm: looks like version 5.0.24 fixed what was broken. Thanks!

Well, yes, a search term would be entered in the search bar -- indeed, in practice, a search term is *always* in the search bar. Otherwise, one would see only the first few items, and who would manually scroll through thousands of items looking for …

What would you like me to do next? And please, step by step...
-
Yes : new profile with existing data = the problems persist. In that combination, as best as I can report, new items are created without being selected. Sometimes when that happens, the Welcome blurb appears in the item list pane. However, when thi…

Created "test" profile. (Note: Zotero must be closed before command line -P produces anything discernible.) From "profile manager" with "test" profile selected, opened Zotero. Opens with my existing data. No change in behavior. However, note that cr…

Not yet. Still queasy about trying that, because I don't quite understand what you are asking me to do. Your current documentation does not explain what a Zotero profile is or does, or why I might want one. There is nothing in your interface that se…

All problems remain with 5.0.23.
-
These directions make me quite uneasy... But, following the directions for starting zotero with -P, and browsing to get the file name, I get: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zotero Standalone\zotero.exe -P" This command fails: cannot find the file. Perhap…
-
No errors found in database. Will look next at creating a new profile...
-
Scrolling all the way to the end of my items reveals the newly-created, empty item. When I click on it, the empty info pane is filled with the new item form.
-
This is disconcerting... now when I try to create a new item, the Welcome to Zotero! announcement appears and all my items disappear from the items pane. Clicking on My Library does not restore the items, but a blank (no-characters) search does rest…

Now using 5.0.22. No perceptible improvement.
-
When adding a new item, I have My Library selected. From there I allocate a new item to an appropriate collection(s). I have not filtered by tags. But none of that appears to make a difference.
-
1) Does this happen only after editing an item? No. 2) Does it happen with auto-sync disabled? Auto-sync for data has been on, while auto-sync for files has been off. I will now turn off auto-sync for data. 3) Does it happen with all third-party Z…

The problems I see occur when Zotero should select and display a newly created item, an item created either by selecting File/New Item/Book or by importing metadata from Firefox. My OS is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit version 1511 build 10586.1045. Processo…

dubug id: D544456692. Records failure to select item imported from Firefox. Also, re bwiernik's note, I'll reiterate: the only time that Zotero is not open on my third display is when I am forced to reboot, so the anomalies I see are not related to…
-
Do this: select file/new item/book. A new, empty record is created. That record is not selected. The information pane continues to display the previously selected record. The new empty item can be found at the end of the item list in the central pan…
-
At the top, my collections; My Library is selected. At the bottom, tags.

Sorry to report this, but 5.0.21 seems to have recreated the problems I have been reporting.
-
It is 3:42 AM George Mason time. What are you doing still up and working?
-
Just upgraded to 5.0.19. And then to 5.0.20. So far, the bad behavior I have reported has not reappeared. Fingers crossed...
-
Just upgraded to 5.0.18. No change in the bad behavior previously reported.
-
I cannot distinguish any difference between the sequences of actions or states preceding expected Zotero behavior and those leading to bad behavior, but I'm experiencing good and bad behavior in about equal proportions. I do what I have done literal…
-
Yes, I have been seeing something different. See the preceding posts. To recapitulate, when importing metadata from Firefox, or trying to create a new item manually, or sometimes when just trying to find something using the search: the new or found …
-
(a) I always have Zotero up and running. Whenever I'm forced to reboot, I start up Firefox and then I start up Zotero. Then I go on to other things I need to do to re-establish my working environment. (b) I don't have, as far as I know, an "online …

Now I'm watching the "busy working on your search" spinner spin and spin. The book I was searching for has appeared in the document list pane, but in grey rather than black font. The contents of the metadata window have not changed. Has been spinnin…
-
And sometimes the search fails. Type into the search box, and nothing happens... After a while, maybe, a correct research result may appear, in grey (rather than black) font, overlaying lines in the book list. The displayed metadata does not change.…

1.Sometimes. When it shows, it is smack in the middle of the Zotero window, which occupies one of my displays. 2. Yes. 3. When it appears, the green progress bar has no labels. If you are talking about some other "progress window", I don't see one. …
