Libreoffice 5.2.5 Writer crashes on inserting Zotero citations

(but it works fine on my windows machine)

We have had some crashing behaviour before with footnotes, that was fixed in newer version of the Zotero LO plugin. Have you tried reinstalling in Zotero Preferences -> Cite -> Word Processors?

Just a drive-by query here. Do you have any pending items in Track Changes?

Apparently in only re-works if I manually reinstall (everyday!) the extension from the cite panel. Why is this soooo instable ?

We haven't had any recent reports of LibreOffice plugin instability aside from yours. It should generally work fine. If you can reproduce this in a new document with a stable set of commands, we can take a look.

arnaud mace: Are you sure it's not just restarting LibreOffice that's fixing it? To be clear, the advice above to reinstall was just to update to a newer version of the plugin where some issues have been fixed. It shouldn't be necessary more than once (or ever, really, since the plugin should update itself on Zotero upgrade, but sometimes that doesn't work for various reasons).
