Zotero stopped adding citations and now gives error that cursor needs to be placed inside citation
I've been using Zotero to write a legal article (currently 9 pages and 50 references so nothing too bad atm) and it has been working fine until now. Suddenly, it doesn't seem to insert new citations anymore. I select the source, enter the page, and then it does what it usually does but without actually adding the citation. The weird thing is, when I make a new Word file, it works, but in my existing file of my article it doesn't. I've even tried copy-pasting my whole article into a new file and then it works again, but as soon as I then save the new file it stops working again. I have the last version of Zotero and have tried restarting it as well as my laptop but nothing works.
Then, suddenly, an additional problem occurred and I couldn't even add a citation by selecting the source etc, but it now immediately gives me the error that I need to place my cursor inside a Zotero citation in order to edit it. The report ID I created is 1158732625. Can you please help me?

If not, see Troubleshooting Errors in Word Processor Documents for the existing document.
You'll want to make sure you're saving the file as a .docx and saving it to your local disk, not to OneDrive (unless you remove spaces from the filename, as mentioned on the linked page).
