Extra full stop after suffix

When discussing a source in footnote text, I would like to end the citation with a comma:

Robert Smith, "Philologus", 48–49, also discusses...

However, when I specify the suffix "," for my citation in the Zotero Word plugin (Zotero 5.0.55, Word 14.4.9, Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6), Zotero adds a trailing full stop:

Robert Smith, "Philologus", 48–49,. also discusses...

The suffixes ";", "!" and "?" (which are not usable in this context) avoid the trailing ".", but the suffixes "," and ")" do not. Is there a reason for this behavior? Can it be changed?
  • ) definitely shouldn't -- a sentence can very much end on ). Not sure what the thinking is on , -- @fbennett do you recall?

    But obviously you can always include more of the sentence in the suffix.
