Google Docs: Collaborating leads to incorrect Citation placement

edited yesterday at 2:59pm
When collaborating in a google doc, I have repeatedly encountered an issue where someone "above me" in the document is typing while I'm adding/editing a citation. It seems, my citation is shifted to the left by how ever many characters were typed by my collaborator in the mean time. If I edit a citation, this overwrites text.

Example:
V1: This is some old statement which definitely needs proof (Author et al, 2019)
V2: New text by person 2! This is some old statement which (Scientist, 2025)oof (Author et al, 2019)
