No title and access to notes in library on Zotero Website

Hello,

I am not sure if this problem is already recognized. I searched in the forum for it, but couldn't find a thread.

I had a problem syncing the notes attached to items (books, mazines) in my library. After syncing my library and group I couldnt access the notes on the Zotero Website. When I clicked on an item in my library or group a note icon at the bottom below the heading "Notes and Attachements" but there were no title beside the icon to clikc to get to the note.
But at some items beside the note icon there was the title of the note displayed and I could click it to access the note.

So I compared the HTML format of the working and not-working notes and it seems that the problem is related to the first line in the HTML code. When there is just
"<p>title of the note</p>
the title will be displayed.
But the most of my notes had some, probably automaticaly generated code, in the first line which looked like the following:
"<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->"
I am not sure this line gets into the HTML code of my notes, but it seems that it is the reason why there are no note titles shown in my library on the Zotero website and therefore I can't access this notes.

It's not a big problem since I know the workarounf now and will just change the codes of my notes. It might be interesting to know that I wrote the notes with Open Office Writer and then copied into the note field of my Zotero plug in.

Anyway, maybe you can find a solution for that on the next update..

Thanks for this great tool, nevertheless!
