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?

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