Zotero 10 from Beta problems

erazlogo · 2026-08-24T12:50:39+00:00

I switched to Zotero 10 from beta but just before doing that I installed 10+ beta version without paying attention. Now I have problems--first with Advanced Search, and now I got an error while highlighting: "Can't access a dead object."

What should I do? Should I just switch back to beta and hope for the best?

Thanks!

Nothing to do with having updated the beta.

Restart in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins.

If that fixes it, you'll need to identify the plugin that's causing it and then report the problem to the plugin's developer.

If not, provide a Debug ID for reproducing the problem.

@erazlogo: But assuming you have Better BibTeX, it's probably that — this is the third report of this.

Yes, it's Better BibTeX:

Aha, yes it must have been Better BibTeX, thanks!
