Libreoffice footnotes counted per page causes Zotero failure
When I switch from footnotes counted per document to footnotes counted per page in Libreoffice, the existing Zotero citations cannot be updated any longer. Inserting new citations is no longer possible. I receive the error message "Zotero experienced an error updating your document." The log file says: "Note index sequence is not sane for citation". Is this a known issue? Is there a way of safely switching to footnotes counted per page without damaging the citations?
When I switch back to footnotes counted per document, the Zotero citations usually get back to normal. Sometimes, in larger documents, the error persists.

I can replicate this problem in a very simple ODT document with three footnotes with one citation of the same title each (footnote 2 and 3: ibid.). The last footnote is on another page than the first ones. Then I switch to footnotes counted per page. Now Zotero cannot update the citations, and I get the error message.
1. Insert three footnotes with the same citation each (with Add/Edit button, not copy/paste, of course!). Chicago or similar full-note styles.
Now in the first two footnotes there are full citations, from the third citation onwards there are short citations.
2. Update citations (Edit or Refresh button) does not change anything.
3. Save, close and re-open the document. Now after updating citations, the reference in the second footnote is a short citation (as it should be).
4. Insert another second footnote with the same citation (Add/Edit button). Again this second citation is a full citation like in the first footnote.
5. Save/Close/Re-open document, refresh citations: Second footnote will change to short format.
Maybe a report ID from these operations could help: 1441978029
