Can only insert one citation before standalone stops working.

Report ID: 1500080649

I am using LibreOffice LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) with the Zotero standalone.

EDIT: OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin, 64-bit.

I can insert one citation just fine. If I try to insert another, I get an error message, and the citation buttons cease functioning.

When I close zotero, it remains as a process until I kill it. If I restart zotero and libreoffice, I can then insert another citation.

I have also tried clicking the "Refresh" icon after restart and it crashes immediately. I believe I'm getting the same error in this case, so I will hold off on filing a separate report until advised otherwise.

I can include a screenshot of the Java error message that pops up when this occurs, but I don't see a place to do it on these forums.

Please let me know if any more information is needed. Below is the error message copied from "Report errors to Zotero...".

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Post the screenshot at tinypic or imageshack and include a link to it here. But first, make sure it's not this issue.

I don't think they're the same. Experimental features are off.

I just found out that I can reproduce this error simply by opening libreoffice and zotero, then clicking the "refresh" button in libreoffice (without ever inserting a citation).

Here is the link to the error message:

I don't think we've seen this before. Does this happen in a new document?

nodice

No, I cannot reproduce this on a new document.

Simon

If you can send the document to support@zotero.org, we can take a look. Alternatively, follow the steps on the debugging broken documents page.

I will send it. I have been playing around with it, and if I copy the entire document to a new document, the problem goes away.

The only issue is that I'm recording changes in this document, and they don't get transferred upon copying.

Could it have something to do with the record changes feature of libreoffice?

nodice

I think I made some progress.

I turned off 'record changes' and set them to 'show' (I was hiding them before, since I find it easier to edit that way). Then, I clicked the 'refresh' button and, instead of crashing, zotero asked if I wanted to prevent one of the citations from being modified. This citation had a stray comma associated with it and was hidden from editing. I clicked 'yes', deleted it manually, and then re-added it. Now, I don't seem to be having any problems (with 'record changes' off). I'll see if using record changes messes things up again.
