[BUG] Zotero 7 Beta: Citation Picker appears BEHIND Obsidian #348

I've gone back to Zotero 6 to make sure and it doesn't happen there, but in the current Zotero 7 Beta, if I try opening the Citation Picker, it opens behind the Obsidian window. With Zotero 6 it opens in front of Obsidian, as one would expect.

Thanks :)

This is a duplicate of #4, #40, #229, and #280.

Luckily, there is a fix available for this issue, in the Config editor in Zotero. See this: #4 (comment)

Most likely, you made that change in Zotero 6.

This does not fully solve the problem. The searchbar comes to the foreground but is out of focus, so I can't directly type.
Many people reported the same issue:

#4 Comment does not fix for me unfortunately.

If I set extensions.zotero.integration.keepAddCitationDialogRaised to false, all I get is:
"Awaiting item selection from Zotero..." (I have to alt-tab to get the Quick Format Citation window)

If I set extensions.zotero.integration.keepAddCitationDialogRaised to true, I get the Quick Format Citation window on top of everything else, but no cursor flashing in the text field, and it is not there why I Alt-Tab, so I have to manually click it with my mouse.

I thought the expected behaviour was just to be able to start typing to search zotero?

Is there something I'm missing?

Windows 10, Zotero 7, Obsidian 1.6.7 (installer 1.4.16, says it's up to date!)
Also use Obsidian and Zotero on Windows 10 laptop, and KDE Neon. Can't recall if I have the same issues right now.

Rgds,
Darren

As interconnectedMe pointed out, this is not a solution. But from what I could dig from the code, this problem is entirely in the Zotero side. This Obsidian plugin just calls an API that opens that window, but the window is owned by Zotero.
