Note Insertion leads to error for long notes

jnnk · 2025-09-07T07:56:56+00:00

Now that LibreOffice is not crashing anymore (see [here](https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/126559/libreoffice-add-note-crashes-libreoffice#latest)), I get an error message for long notes:

Zotero experienced an error updating your document.

Would you like to view troubleshooting instructions?

This even occurs in a fresh document, and I was unable to locate the source in the note other than the length.

Imagine a note like this, but a lot longer:

A
A
B
B

I got the insert feature working be removing the lower half (so in this case the B's). If I then tested, whether it would still crash with only the lower half, so only the B's, it did not crash.

Still, from what I can tell the Note gets inserted correctly.

There was an issue that has been since fixed: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/124842/is-there-a-length-or-size-limitation-to-insert-a-formatted-note-in-libreoffice

What style are you using? Does it happen if you use say APA7 or CMoS18?

Hey, thank you for responding this fast. It does happen with both of these styles. However, I checked and the version of the extension I have installed is 7.0.1, which seems outdated looking at the GitHub repo, but seems to be the version served by both the Community Built Flatpack as well as the official tar (Zotero-7.0.24_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2).

Zotero LibreOffice Integration 7.0.6 is currently available in Zotero Beta.
