HELP! TypeError: this.style is undefined
I'm preparing a paper due tomorrow and after cutting and pasting some text with Zotero references in it from different sources, I just noticed the document was not updating the citations. When I tried to set the citation style or update the citations, or do ANYTHING, I get:
Zotero experienced an error updating your document.
TypeError: this.style is undefined
I can't even try to change the style, because every time I press anything, this same error message comes up. Please help?!?

If that doesn't help either, provide an error report ID immediately after triggering the error.

Obviously you should try re-starting your computer (not just FF) as a first troubleshooting option for almost any major problem.
I exited out of the error report ID screen before copying the number in my haste. Looks like it's not needed now. PHEW!
I think Zotero needs to handle this much more gracefully. I see a couple options:
A) Automatically download the style.
B) If (A) does not work, prompt the user to download the style, redirecting him/her to the CSL repo and probably to the correct style.
C) Revert to another style and inform the user that the style is missing.
I can't recall any patches in the last few months addressing this, but since I'm running 3.0.3 on this comp, it may have already been implemented. If so, please disregard.
