Not all zotero fields have a grey background in libre office writer

I have witnessed a strange issue in several of my libre writer .odt files with zotero citations. Only some of the zotero fields have the grey background. Others look like normal plaintext (without grey background) but they can still be edited with the zotero plugin and behave like normal zotero citations/fields in every other regard. If one citation does not have the background it will usually stay without background even if it is updated or changed (via the zotero plugin). It seems to be random which citations do get the background and which don’t. Even after a citation without background, there can still be further citations that do get the background.

In the image attached, you can easily spot the normal zotero citations. However also the citations in between ["(Grout 1990; Stafford 2017)" and "(Wallerstein 2011)" etc..] are also editable zotero citations even though they do not have a grey background.

Toggling "show field names" in the "View" menu of writer does not resolve
the problem.
