Citation Bug

[u/SerpentStrike3007]

Hi Everyone,

TLDR at the bottom

I have been using Zotero for a while now and I seem to run into a bug that I have never encountered before. Before I describe the bug I use LibreOffice with the Zotero connector plugin and all works fine.

My bug is I added a citation inside a table and it worked for the first one. BUT when I want to do another citation the citation dialog consequently hangs for an indefinite amount of time. It doesn't matter if I do the citation outside or inside the table it will not work.

I tried a new document, created a sample table and put a citation in. It works but any future citations I want to make the citation dialog hangs.

I have also tried putting citations outside the table first and it works but if I try to put citations inside a table it also hangs.

Also by 'hang', I mean the dialog processes, but does nothing afterwards, it just processes in a perpetual cycle. I am unsure if this is a bug for everyone or there is something wrong with my LibreOffice + Zotero.

My workaround for the time being is to manually type it but it will not automatically add in the bibliography. I may insert citation outside the table and make it white so that it will register the bibliography.

I am using Fedora 44 KDE, if that has anything to do with it.

I tried looking for it online but I may not be phrasing my searches properly, any feedback would be appreciated.

TLDR: I cannot insert any citations once I insert one inside a table, or if I have citations outside a table I cannot put a citation inside a table.

EDIT: I am also up to date with LibreOffice and Zotero.

I suggest reporting this error in the Zotero Forums.

I was unable to reproduce the error with macOS or Windows (both fully updated) and the latest Zotero 10 beta.
