Upgrade StorageZotero 7 not displaying LexisNexis Academic Print Preview
I have a large number of references imported from LexisNexis. In Zotero 6, these were displayed as having an attachment "LexisNexis Academic Print Preview". Clicking on the attachment to view a snapshot brings up the file "PreviewFrameDisplay.html", which includes all the relevant content. In Zotero 7, opening the attachment in a new tab or new window merely displays a horizontal white line--and none of the relevant content from the attachment is visible. When I go to the storage directory and open the PreviewFrameDisplay.html file, all the information is there. Any help would be much appreciated!

I found a work-around by changing the setting in
Edit>Settings>General>Reader>Open Snapshot
to "System Default" rather than "Zotero".
Right-Clicking on the Attachment and then "Open Snapshot" opened the attachment in the default browser (it worked for Brave, Edge and Firefox).
The issue occurred on machines running Linux as well as Windows.
A similar problem occurred with the Web Library. Clicking on "Open in Reader" generated the alarming message: "This content is blocked. Contact the site owner to fix the issue." The work-around here was to click on "Download", which displayed the full snapshot in a browser window.
One question is what is there about snapshots from LexisNexis that apparently makes it impossible for the built-in viewer in Zotero 7 to render them correctly--whereas it seems to work fine for snapshots from multiple other sources.
It would also be helpful if there was some information about possible issues with the viewer--it was alarming when it seemed that a large number of my snapshots had suddenly been corrupted.
