Linux Mint + Libreoffice Writer - AddCitation Window gets Stuck
Hello Dear Zotero Forum,
i am writing my Bachelor Thesis and lately i am running into the following problem:
When i want to add a new Citation the Add Citation Window gets stuck. I can choose the correct Paper and Page but when i want to insert it the small loading window gets stuck forever and i can not close it (nor close the whole zotero window - i have to kill it via terminal).
It works fine in some documents, but not in others. i can not tell why this happens. i opened zotero in debug mode and think this could be the error:
zotero(3)(+0000005): Citation Dialog: searching done in 0.27
zotero(3)(+0001628): Citation Dialog: adding 1 items to the citation

PS: My system (as well as libreoffice and zotero) are up to date. All connector plugins are properly installed. I also have installed jdk-26_linux-x64_bin.
Every help is appreciated!
