Hi, thanks for the improvements, but I am unable to use the new citation dialog as it doesn't load the sources and shows a spinning wheel on the right side of the dialog indefinitely, as can be seen in the image.

Can you reproduce that with all plugins disabled? If so, can you provide a Debug ID for Zotero startup through reproducing this, using the "Restart with Logging Enabled…" option?

I disabled Better BibTex (the only plugin I use) and restarted Zotero which solved the issue. Many thanks!

P.S. I re-enabled BibTex and new citation dialog still works.

And meanwhile I noticed another problem, Document Preferences dialog box in MS Word doesn't fit my screen (Macbook Pro 2015 13inch default resolution), I cannot see OK or Cancel, has to hit "Enter" to confirm selections. If I choose a higher resolution, I can see OK and Cancel buttons but higher resolution slows down my computer. (Please see below for before and after screenshots.)
I believe there is too much space between lines, not just in the Document Preferences dialog box but also in the main Zotero settings, especially between headings.

The Document Preferences window should now take up less vertical space in beta 93.
