Cannot edit citations (Firefox 4.0, Zotero 2.1.6, WinWord Integration 3.1)

Hey folks,

I recently updated to Firefox 4.0, and along with it Zotero 2.1.6 and WinWord Integration 3.1. Since then, I can now no longer edit ANY citation I place with Zotero in Microsoft Word. I get the error, "You must place the cursor in a Zotero citation in order to edit it," even as my cursor is very definitely inside the citation. This is new to the update, as it worked perfectly before. I've tried this is new documents as well as old ones and it works in neither.

Incidentally, the Bluebook style is also acting funky now: for example, regardless of the type of citation (e.g. a journal article), if the stored citation in Zotero includes an access date and/or website, the Bluebook citation includes these despite the fact that this is not actually correct according to Bluebook style.

Can anyone help? Should I try to revert back? If I can't edit my citations once I've placed them, Zotero's utility really goes down, and I have no idea what to do to fix this.

Thanks!
  • Bump! Can anyone help with this? Please?! I'm desperate to be able to edit citations without having to go back and add them all from scratch! Thanks...
  • If you check your messages on zotero.org, I can provide you with a private copy of Zotero 2.1.6 that includes the latest revision of the CSL processor (citeproc-js). I can't promise that it will resolve your issue, but at the least it would help you to narrow the issue down, by excluding Zotero itself as a likely cause of the failure you are expiencing.
  • Agh - I'm having this problem too. I was using Zotero just fine until about 1 week ago, and now I can't edit my citations (I get the same error message as zabagabe, no matter where I place the cursor). I've tried updating everything, and that hasn't solved the problem. I'd appreciate any advice on this...
  • (Please ignore my suggestion above concerning the citeproc-js processor; it turned out that was not the issue.)
