MLZ Footnotes Lose Italics, etc., Formatting When Cut Free

mbruffey
Why do all my footnotes lose italics (as in titles) when I cut free from Zotero? I'm in LibreOffice 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS.

    What I have done as a workaround is to disable zotero in firefox while I finish off editing and printing the document. Will the document "behave" while I do this (assuming that it will wipe out any corrections in the notes when I do re-enable and refresh)? m

    what do you mean by "cut free"?

    @mbruffey: I think this may be what you're seeing, could you confirm?

    You have a document with citations with text in the prefix and/or suffix fields. Through the word processor (not through Zotero) you add italics to the prefix/affix text of the citations. When you save the document and reopen it, the italics disappear.

    Would that be it, or is it something else?

    No. When I click the link-breaker, beside the cog, so that I can put on the finishing touches outside Zotero, I am losing my title formatting, etc.

    My "workaround" above does seem to work.

    Got it. I can reproduce that here. It doesn't matter how the italics are set -- through the word processor, or with rich text markup in the Zotero prefix/suffix fields. In either case, it is stripped.

    The core devs will need to take a look at this one.

    Okay. Thanks so much!

    Can we know anything about when it will be handled? Helps our planning. Thx, Mark

    FWIW, saving to .doc and back has similar effect.
