Hello! Okay, so, I'll try to make this as clear as possible, but it's a little tricky to describe:
I have multiple folders created for organization, and each have varying amounts of PDFs within them. When I click-and-drag on a PDF to move it from one folder (the folder that currently contains it) to a different folder on the sidebar, the new-destination folder highlights (as expected), and I release the mouse button to 'drop' the PDF into the folder. So far, all of this happens as expected.
Here is where the bug happens:
As soon as I let go of the mouse button to 'drop' the PDF into the folder, I'll slide the cursor back over to the open folder (the folder from which I just pulled the PDF) and IF THE CURSOR DOES NOT SLIDE BACK ONTO TO THE SAME PDF (because the PDF does not disappear from its current folder, even when transferring to a different folder; this must be done manually), THEN THE APPLICATION THINKS THAT I AM TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT MULTIPLE PDFS AT ONCE (in this instance, I have to move the cursor back to hover over the original PDF, click once to select only this file and deselect the other PDFs that were inadvertently highlighted by the glitch, then right-click and select 'remove from collection').
Does this make sense? I know this is hard to follow. This bug has crashed the desktop application multiple times, to the point where I am re-syncing (command-r) constantly just in case it crashes again. On that same note, the desktop application has crashed multiple times (due to other bugs as well) since it was recommended I use this system just a few days ago. I am really trying to give Mendeley a shot, but the crashing keeps me on edge (at one point, a lot of organizational work I had performed did not 'save', and thus I now re-sync constantly).
Any advice would be great. Thanks!
