1 year ago Yeah, UI is not my specialty, and the technology that is available in Zotero to build the UI is pretty janky. Zotero 7 will make some of these things better. A build will drop here in a bit that will fix it, but strangely enough you need to resize the text box to see the controls at the bottom. As I said, pretty janky. Fortunately it looks like 7 will drop soon.

1 year ago :robot: this is your friendly neighborhood build bot announcing test build 6.7.100.2600.4820 ("textarea instead of textbox")
Install in Zotero by downloading test build 6.7.100.2600.4820, opening the Zotero "Tools" menu, selecting "Add-ons", open the gear menu in the top right, and select "Install Add-on From File...".

1 year ago This build fixes the issue indeed. Great. But I see what you mean about needing to resize the text box to see controls. Looking forward to any improvement that comes in Zotero 7.

1 year ago Thanks for the feedback; there's no way you could have known, but @retorquere prefers to keep bugreports/enhancements open as a reminder to merge the changes into a new release.

What happened?
UI issue on macOS: When inputting citation key formula, the inputted text is wrapped into a narrow part of the left side of the input box rather than using all available space.
The text box is about 600px wide, but it behaves as if it were only about 180px wide (see scrollbar in image, and text wrapping). This is a UI issue, not a bug with the functionality (afaict no issue with the citation key formula, it just is hard to see what you're doing :).
-- macOS v13.4.1 (c) Zotero v6.0.26 BBT v6.7.96
