Word crashes after merging cells

I am currently running Zotero 5.0.94 and I use the Word plugin and I use Office 2013.

I have no problems with Zotero until I try to insert a citation following the use of the merge function on a table. The table of my document also had citations which I have inserted using Zotero.

I can replicate the issue by creating a table with 3 columns and 2 rows and merge the 2 rows of the first column and proceed to type. I copied and pasted "Aaaa" with a space 56 times so that there are 279 characters with spaces in the (merged) first column. The moment I click the zotero "add/edit" button on word, the programme crashes. Whether the cursor is in a cell or whether it is outside of the table is irrelevant.

Usually erasing one letter from that string of letters (56 words with 278 characters) allows me to use the zotero button, however after repeating this a few times I find that the issue sometimes crops up even after fewer characters.

The number of characters within my original document had more than 56 words with 278which I believe is what caused the issue in that document.
  • What version of Word 2013 are you running? Have you tried updating? I cannot reproduce this with Word 2013 15.0.5293 in an empty document.
