[solved] Citations are not correctly inserted in LibreOffice

orschiro

Hello,

I have the following problem. When I insert a citation and continue writing after the citation, my further text is seen as being part of the former citation.

This screenshot better shows what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/iptVFh2.png

Although I am inserting a space after the citation brackets, my text remains part of the citation.

How can I resolve this?

this should only happen when you go back to a citation. If you insert a citation and immediately type something, I'm pretty sure you will find it doesn't become part of the citation. The only way I can replicate this is
Insert citation --> Space --> back arrow --> start typing

In those cases you can just do
return --> space --> backwards arrow --> backspace --> forward arrow.

Thanks Adam!

Indeed this only happens when I go back to the citation before continuing writing.

(FWIW, while it would be nice to not have this issue at all, it's due to the way LO handles reference marks, nothing Zotero can do here).

Right. Probably it is worth to discuss this issue on the LibreOffice mailing list as well.
