LibreOffice addon crashes when adding biliography, and citations stopped working

penyuan · April 29, 2012

Hello,

I am running the latest Zotero in Firefox 12 with the addon for LibreOffice 3.5.2 in Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I was able to add and edit citations in my LibreOffice Writer document (.odf), but when I try to insert a bibliography it crashes with a "Zotero Integration" Java error:

What's worse is that the rest of my citations in the document stopped working! All the buttons in the Zotero toolbar no longer responds even after I restart LibreOffice!

I have a deadline for this document on Monday (30 April)! How do I troubleshoot this problem??

Thanks!

Your document is fine. Read http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#stringindexoutofboundsexception_inserting_a_footnote_or_bibliography_with_libreoffice_35, disable the unstable features, and restart Firefox.

Ah. Sorry for the line noise.

Ah yes, disabling the experimental/unstable features worked! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
