Zotero won't edit footnotes

jdriddle · May 16, 2020

UPDATE: Apparently it now matters where I click in the citation? When I place my cursor after the final period in the footnote, it works as it should. I used to just click anywhere in the footnote (indicated by it turning gray). Is this an update to the software?

Hi there,

Starting this morning, Zotero stopped allowing me to edit existing Zotero footnotes. When, per usual, I place my cursor in the footnote and then hit "Add/Edit Citation," Zotero prompts a NEW footnote rather than showing me the citations in the current footnote.

I'm running Windows 10, MS Word 2016.

Any guidance? Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

Does this happen in a new document?

Can you provide a Debug ID for an instance where it works and another for an instance where it doesn't?

Thanks for replying. I didn't get back to you sooner because, happily, the problem seems to have resolved itself. I can't explain why, but I'll take it.
