Buglet: position="ibid" sees order of entry, not sequence (1.0 dev branch)

fbennett

The subject header says it all, really. Running the 1.0 development branch, the position="ibid" attribute used by footnote styles triggers the ibid form according to the order in which citations are entered, not their actual sequence in the document. For example, in the main text:

Cite one.[second, create another cite to the same resource]

Cite two.[first, create new cite to John Doe, Anonymous Life (1900)]

Footnote 1 will show "Id." (!), and footnote 2 will show the full cite to the resource. I've checked this with a style that I am developing, and with the Chicago notes-without-bibliography style. I get the same behaviour in both cases.

This is with the 1.0 development branch, version 1.0.7.r3905 (I haven't checked the production version of 1.0.7).

Ah. I see that there is a already a ticket for this. I am using OO, so the ticket covers my case. I see that a fix was scheduled for Zotero Sync Preview, and that the ticket is now marked closed.

In future, I'll try to be more careful about checking Tracker before complaining!
