We don't have anything to do with the Flatpak version, and the Zotero 7 version has been extremely unstable. You'd need to report this to the maintainers or switch to the official tarball.

I had crashes with the libreoffice integration plugin and Flatpak. Solved using the tarball. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just in case it's not clear, Zotero has a built-in updater, so you'll get updates as soon as we release them with the tarball.
