Lost two paragraphs in word
I added this book (https://books.google.no/books?id=ir34DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=inside+jokes+dennett&hl=no&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=inside jokes dennett&f=false) to my sources using the zotero browser extension.
When I went into my word document (saved online for automatic saving ofc) and added the source, I got a half a page worth of gibberish. Without thinking much about it, I hit backspace and saw not only the reference disappear, but also the two last paragraphs I wrote. Weirder still: using Ctrl + Z starts removing words from a paragraph I wrote yesterday(!). The last version that's automatically saved is from an hour ago.
This may be a bug with Word (indeed it seems likely), but it all started with what looked like a bug in zotero. I've tried to replicate it, but on every subsequent try the reference came out fine.
I still wanted to mention it (even though I may have screwed up in a way that I didn't notice), on the off-chance that there is something worth looking into here, or perhaps others have had a similar experience. And also; it could have been much, much worse :-)

(The plugin disables change tracking to avoid causing problems, hence previous paragraphs being removed with Undo, I'm not sure why you would lose anything — just use Redo?)
