Zotero crashes after adding paper from IEEE Xplore from Chromium
Debug log: D2098891558
Debug log contains: Restarted Zotero with debug logging on from the help menu. Added paper from IEEE Xplore. Zotero crashed. Started Zotero again, then submitted debug log.
Reproduction: From IEEE Xplore, opened in Chromium, use the Zotero connector to save the opened paper in your library. To do so, just click the Zotero connector icon. Zotero saves the paper in the library. In Chromium, the Zotero "popup" or hint appears. You can see that loading the abstract record fails, then, Zotero crashes. Sometimes, it stays open long enough so you can see that saving the Full text pdf also fails. Sometimes the full text pdf can be downloaded.
The paper is saved correctly though, sometimes the full text pdf link is saved, too.
Also, Zotero does not crash when the context menu of the connector is used and "Save to Zotero (DOI)" is used.
Error message when started from the console:
/usr/bin/zotero: Zeile 13: 14995 Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) "$CALLDIR/zotero-bin" -app "$CALLDIR/application.ini" $*
This translates roughly to:
Line 13: 14995 memory access error (memory dump written)

You don't say how you installed Zotero, but can you reproduce this running the tarball from the website directly?
If so, you can provide the URL that's triggering this?
I can reproduce the exact same behaviour using the tarball though. Example URL http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6258199/ but you can propably really use any document from there, this is just a random one I used to test right now.
Unfortunately people tend to report a lot of weird problems on Arch-based distros. If you're running an outdated or bleeding-edge version, you might try on a more current/stable release.
