Upgrade StorageZotero 3 Quick Format Citation auto-complete problem
With the current Zotero (using the WinWord bridge, although I think there is no Word-interaction issue), I have the following auto-completion hiccup:
Entering the first few letters of an authors name gives me a drop-down menu correctly for the first citation in the Quick Format Citation dialog. However, subsequent citations do not generate the drop-down menu as I type. The menu appears if I delete down to either the first character or the first two characters, after which I can narrow the selection as usual by typing more characters.
Workaround: Entering three characters, deleting one and then entering more characters is an effective workaround.
Reproducibility: Happens every time with the interaction as described above, over many such interactions - maybe 50?
System:
Zotero 3.0b3.2
Windows Home Premium virtualised under Parallels 6 on up-to-date OSX Snow Leopard
Microsoft Home and Student 14.0.6112.5000 (MSI)
Not sure how to identify the version of the Zotero--WinWord bridge; downloaded fairly recently

I should note that this is for a longish text (about 118 000 words), and Zotero is pretty slow. It is possible I am giving up before a dialog actually occurs, althpough this would be curious given how quickly autocomplete works when I delete enough characters.
