Steps to reproduce:

2) Make an highlight annotation
3) Drag and drop the highlight into the text editor

Using:
Zotero 7.0.0-beta.74+2e8073ab9 (64-bit)
Windows 10

Debug Output Logging with all plugins disabled, after doing a "Reset Translators" and restarting Zotero:
Debug ID: D999620824
Same in Troubleshooting Mode:
Debug ID: D746421046

I do not see the problem if the item has a different number of authors.

Reproducible in Word on macOS. Not in LibreOffice, TextEdit or Obsidian

Thanks - this will be fixed in the next beta. (Those characters should be invisible; they tell text rendering engines to calculate the directionality [LTR, RTL] of the creator names separately from the surrounding text. But Word and other Windows editors clearly don't know what to do with them.)

Fixed in beta 76. Thank you

Thank you.
I confirm that it is fixed no Windows 10.
