Upgrade StorageNot getting a dialogue that is stopping Zotero
Following are the two messages at the top and bottom of my Zotero error log. The first shows my environment (although I changed the Flash plugin to "Never Activate" and it came back on the next time I started, so I don't know what's up with that). I think the last message is the source of my problem, which is that every time I go to add a citation, Zotero hangs and never finishes it. It looks like Zotero is trying to ask me a question that I'm never getting to answer because I don't see a dialogue with it.
Obviously, I need to see the dialogue for this to function in the long term, but for now I'd be happy with a workaround because I need to finish the paper I'm working on.

Which Linux distro are you on?
I am on Xubuntu 19.04, LibreOffice 6.2.4.2.
If you insert a citation in a new document, then modify its text and press Refresh in the Zotero toolbar do you get a prompt?

I also noticed the following that shows up in the debug output prior to doing anything:
[JavaScript Error: "uncaught exception: 2147500034" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/integration.js" line: 199}]
Then I selected the Sun Java 1.8 implementation, which is probably what I had before, and it went back to the behaviour of hanging, with an apparent dialogue showing in Zotero's debug output but not on the screen.
I would like to get this resolved, but at this point I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to go into the database and change whatever field I need to change so it won't ask me this question again.
I am also curious if the following error has any bearing on it or might cause any future issues: [JavaScript Error: "uncaught exception: 2147500034" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/integration.js" line: 199}]
Presumably there has to be somewhere that Zotero stores whether to ignore these changed citations or not? If it's in the field code, I could change it there.
