Suppressing author does not work on some citations
I have a couple of references, where I cannot suppress the author.
Debug ID: D1272085329
I have been adding references to a document, and for some references, the "suppress author" tick box is ineffective, i.e. the authors are always shown.
Steps I have taken: Editing the reference, ticking and unticking the "suppress author" box. Deleting the reference and adding it afresh. Changing citation styles. Restarting Firefox, restarting MS Word. Adding the reference in a new document. If an item is affected, its authors are always shown.
The field code in MS Word look fine:
{ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {"citationID":"2og8rcfkhg","citationItems":[{"suppress-author":true,"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/32553/items/ZKMB76TM"]}]}}
{ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {"citationID":"1oau0am3i1","citationItems":[{"suppress-author":true,"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/32553/items/WT4CNP5X"]}]}}
shows up as:
(2001)
(Vertovec and Wessendorf 2010)
The first item works as expected, the second one is a troubling item.
Both citations have multiple authors.
For the time being, I can manually edit the reference in the editor of the add/edit citation dialog.
Zotero 2.1.10, Firefox 6.0.2, Windows XP, Word 2003
Is there anything else I can try?

If you insert just those two in a fresh document, does the problem persist?
If you change the citation style (which one are you using now?) - still the same problem?
Yes, the problem persists when I change citation styles. (I found it using Chicago Manual of Style/Author-Date, but this doesn't seem to matter).
Can you export the reference that is failing as Zotero RDF, paste it to http://gist.github.com/, save it as a public gist, and post the URL from the address bar back here? If it's a reproducible fault, I should be able to fix it.
One correction, I'm using Word 2007.
Cheers.
Glad to hear it'll be fixed in the next Beta release. Any word when that will be?
