Citation error

preiaen

I recently updated Firefox and had to reinstall Zotero, since then i have an error. From time to time, when i try to insert a citation in my text, it doesn't use the {citation} field but alters an existing citation elsewhere. This is realy annoying because if i don't recognize it instantly, one citation is wrong and another isn't set. The only solutions thus far is to restart Open Office, but the error always comes back.
I use Ubuntu 9.04, Firefox 3.6.4 and Zotero 2.0.3 with OO integration 3.0a8 and OO 3.0.1.

Thanks for solutions, regards
Nils

Are you sure this resolves itself if you restart OpenOffice.org, but not if you restart Firefox? If this is the case, then what you're seeing is probably a bug in OpenOffice.org. You might want to try updating your OpenOffice.org installation. If the bug continues to occur, and you can provide us a copy of your document along with a set of steps to reliably reproduce the problem, we can either work around the bug or create a test case and forward it on to the relevant people at OpenOffice.org.

First, thanks for your reply.

I dug a little deeper into this problem and made some tests.
If i write normal Text, everything works fine, BUT in this particular chapter, I use tables in order to organize my content, and this is what causes the error. When i try to comment my table content, the error, as I descriped him, occures. I dont know if this is a OO or a Zotero issue. It's easily to reconstruct, take a new Document, write something and enter citations. Then put an table into it, fill the cell and comment this cell-content with citations, if it's not my systems fault, you should see the error.

This is a known limitation - Zotero cannot insert citations in tables in Ooo -

Oh, ok thanks.
I have not seen this thread. I simply avoid tables by now. But this feature would be highly appreciated for upcoming zotero versions.
