Zotero experienced an error updating your document
I've seen this discussed here several times, but nothing seems to fit my problem. I am running the latest update of Zotero (5.0.59) and running Word 2016 on a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit computer.
I repeatedly get this error now (just updated Zotero yesterday, not sure if that had anything to do with it.)
When I get the error, I close the Word document I was working in, and immediately reopen it and Zotero will work properly for two or three citations. Then it goes into this error mode again. I do the same process, close, reopen, insert citation, and we are back to normal until about the third or fourth attempt.
Kind of a pain.

Zotero experienced an error updating your document.

I am pretty sure this error cropped up only after the last update. I had it in the past, but it has been some months ago, builds previous to this one didn't seem to have the error as far as I can tell. The last time I had it, I think something was causing corrupt citations, but they were fairly easy to spot. This time I looked through the document - cant' find any corrupted citations, they all look normal.
I am trying to observe what triggers it. So far it looks like I can insert citations as long as I don't save the document. As soon as I save, the error pops up. Then I have to close the document and reopen in order to insert more citations.
Ok, now I tried in another document. It doesn't appear to be a problem in the other document. But that one my citations were all new. So perhaps I have a corrupted citation somewhere in the first document anyway. It's not obvious which one, so will take some sleuthing if that is it.
