Hi
I'm really struggling to read the tiny font size. Have you found a way to make Mendeley more accessible to those with vision problems?

Problematic behavior of fullscreen on Mac (Maverick)
Hi, Mendeley's compatibility with full screen is not very good yet.
A practical example of a typical use:
- I open Mendeley in fullscreen
- I search for a paper in my library and open it
- The pdf opens in complete full screen automatically (I guess it shouldn't, it should first open in Mendeley and then switch to full screen if I need to)
- Then if I want to espace reading the paper, I need to click on the button for getting out of full-screen, and it does not only get out of the pdf reading but also turn fullscreen off for Mendeley.
The feeling is thus very different from other applications that make proper use of full-screen.
Best,

Plugin Word 2010 Problem
My question is about a problem I detected with the format brush of MS Word. When the plugin of Mendely is installed I checked that paint brush doesn't work properly when you want to apply it to multiple selections. When you do double click on the brush in order to apply to multiple selections, it is not staying active to apply format to next word. It is quite annoying because it is necessary to swith on over and over again. Please, how can I fix the problem caused by the word plugin with the format brush? And is that a general problem or it is caused in some cases. I have Windows 7 and Word 2010.
Thank you in advance

Thanks in advance.

[BUG] The link "Request Features or Bug Fixes" links to a place where you shouldn't submit bugs.
On Mac OS, the mentioned menu item under Help in the menu bar links to http://feedback.mendeley.com/, which redirects to http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-general. This page explicitly says "no bug reports please, use support.mendeley.com" for those.
Perhaps feature requests and bug reports could be split into two links to GetSatisfaction and Desk respectively.

Microsoft Word 2010
Dear Mendeley support,
I installed Mendeley Desktop recently. I tried to install the MS Word plugin, and the program says it was successfully installed. However, the referencing option does not appear in the MS Word 2010 (32Bits). I have another version of Word, the 2013 which came with the notebook, but I do not have access to it. Is it possible that Mendeley installed the plugin in the other Word?
What can I do to install successfully in my MS Word 2010?
Thank you very much for your attention!

Citation style for JBC: only writing the full name of an author once
Hi,
I really tried to figure out to do it by myself and changing the style in in the citation editor, but for this point I didn't find a solution: I am planning on submitting my paper to the Journal of Crustacean Biology (Brill) and they have a sort of special citation style in the References: they only mention the name of a first author one, even if he/she has more than one publication, e.g.:
Burton, T., B. Knott, D. Judge, P. Vercoe, and A. Brearley. 2006. Embryonic and juvenile attachment structures in Cherax cainii (Decapoda: Parastacidae): implications for maternal care. American Midland Naturalist 157: 127-136.
Calman, W. T. 1911a. The Life of Crustacea: i-xvi, 1-289, text-figs. 1-85, pls. 1-32. Methuen, London.
———. 1911b. Note on a crayfish from New Guinea. Annals and Magazine of Natural History (8) 8: 366-
368.
———. and E. P. Wright. 1897. On the Crustacea. In, W. S. Green, Notes on Rockall Island and Bank, with....
So, instead of writing the name a second time, they put in these dashes (---). Can you help me on how editing a style so the dashes will show up? Or would it just be easier for me to do it manually after all?
Thank for your help,
Cheers,
Hilke

Error in the edtition field
Hi,
since the update which was somewhen last week, my girlfriend zsing a mac and me using a Windows PC are both unable to fill in more then 10 characters in the edition field of mendeley desktop.
Actually we can both fill in more but it gets cut back to the 10 characters as soon as you click on a different reference. Before the update you could have a lot more characters which you sometimes need to cite right.
I hope that error is already known and that you can fix the problem fast
Thx for your help in advance

Mendeley Desktop 1.11 for Mac crashes on quit, hangs while performing tasks, etc.
I've been having a lot of trouble with Mendeley Desktop 1.11 for Mac ever since I updated to this version. I think it has crashed on quit (i.e. when I quit, the app window disappears but the icon in the dock stays "lit" until I actually go and Force Quit it) EVERY time I've run it. Also, while running, it tends to hang apparently indefinitely on common tasks like adding a PDF file, etc; it might get a little ways through some tasks, but then just sits there saying "Completed 2 of 3 tasks" forever.
I haven't encountered problems like this with Mendeley before, and 1.11 seems to be fine on my Windows 7 machine. I'm running OS X 10.9.2 (the latest version, I think), and I'd be more than happy to try to supply log files, etc. if so instructed. I'd just like Mendeley to start working again!

[BUG] Scroll views behave incorrectly on Mac OS
System scrollbar components are designed to 'disappear' when the view is stationary on a device with multitouch capabilities (i.e. a Laptop). The bars should appear when scrolling is occurring, or should be displayed all the time only when a non-multitouch mouse is plugged in.
In addition to this, scroll views include 'bounce' scrolling behaviour, to give a more fluid feeling to applications.
This behaviour is expected of all applications using what appear to be system components, and not providing this behaviour clashes with other applications in a way that is unpleasant for users. The application feels as if it has been ported to OSX using a UI toolkit that doesn't support system functionality.

[BUG] Tab bars on Mac OS render incorrectly on high-DPI displays
The corners of tabs in the tab bar appear fuzzy, as if they are an image that is only provided at low-DPI resolution. This looks out of place, and also means that the drawing of the tabs doesn't line up fully.
This can be seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/utlr18f5u5xnyjz/Screenshot%202014-03-18%2012.56.37.png

Watched Folders Isn't working (and neither is "add Files")
With the latest update to ver 1.11, I can no longer import papers to Mendeley. With the last few versions, I was unable to use the 'watched folders' method, as it completely ignored that folder (located on my Windows Desktop). Now, I can't even use the the "Add Files" command to manually import the papers I've downloaded.
Keeps getting worse and worse.....Help!
