Upgrade StorageSpacing issue with correspondence item type, MHRA style
Hello,
I have a problem that has started occurring recently (i.e. was certainly not an issue before Christmas 2024). I am using the MHRA citation style (4th edition, note with bibliography). When I cite correspondence, the footnote that Zotero produces is missing a space between the name of the author and the word "to". So for example, for a piece of correspondence between John Doe and Jane Doe, the citation would read:
John Doeto Jane Doe, [Date], [Archive], [Location in Archive], etc.
Previously I was on one of the v6 releases. I have now updated to v7 in the hope that it might fix this bug, but to no avail.
I am not sure why this problem has only started occurring recently.
I am a PhD student who will be submitting their dissertation soon, with lots of citations to letters and other correspondence which are now all formatted incorrectly... Help!

The correction will be available in Zotero after the maintainers review this, but you can download the draft file directly if you need it immediately:

There are a number of other issues around the formatting of published correspondence in MHRA. I am developing a way to fix this for the Chicago Style and will implement this in MHRA after this is finalized. See here for the way to add the necessary information using the Extra field:

Do you have an estimated sense of how long before the correction is available in Zotero, i.e. how long maintainers usually take to review corrections?
Good to know about the eventual fixing of issues around citations to published correspondence, too.
