Zotero 7 Beta: "(last)" and "(first)" written in the author fields when left empty

edited January 27, 2024
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a Journal Article item
2) Enter "Test Item" in the title
3) Click in the Last Name field of the first author
4) Type "LN1" in the Last Name field
5) Press Enter
-> The focus jumps to the item in the centre pane.
6) Add another author from the +
7) Type "LN2" in the Last Name field
8) Press Tab twice
9) Enter "2023" in the Date field

The resulting citation is:
LN1, & LN2, (first). (2023). Test Item.

When I click on the First Name field of these two authors, that I had left empty, it behaves as if I had written "(first)".

Doing the same in Zotero 6, an empty field would display "(last)" and "(first)", but the actual content would remain empty.
