Upgrade StorageBug in citation key: mismatch with .bib collection export
Sorry if this is not the right place to report bugs, but I couldn't find any other link or email address.
Configuration: Standalone Zotero version 4.0.26.3 (Mac OS X 10.10.3)
Summary: Bibtex citation keys in exported .bib file do not match citation keys shown in "Info" window for each item, and also do not match LaTex "\cite" key used to drag/drop citation into my document.
The specific cases all involve how special characters or title words are handled, or ordering of authors/editors.
Examples:

[In Zotero, Fontana as author was listed third after the two editors. When Fontana was moved up to first, then the error was fixed and .bib citation key matched "Info" key.]

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
If so, you'll want to report that directly to the add-on's developer. It sounds like you may be generating bibtex with Zotero's built-in translator, but relying on better bibtex's mechanism for citekeys, which would of course mean the two aren't aligned.
When I switched to "exporting collection..." as "Better BibTeX", the mismatches are fixed.
