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.]

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.
