Parenthetical citations keep creating problems
A section of my citations keeps causing problems for me (the same section every time). I am told that I manually modified a citation and asked if I want to keep the modification (yes) or revert back (no). If I keep the modification, the parenthetical citation disappears. If I say 'no' then the following happens:
(van Roekel et al., 20(van Roekel et al., 2013)13)
where the '(van Roekel et al., 20' and the '13)' are regular text and the middle (van Roekel et al., 2013) is the actual citation.
Using Libreoffice on Ubuntu 20.04.
(van Roekel et al., 20(van Roekel et al., 2013)13)
where the '(van Roekel et al., 20' and the '13)' are regular text and the middle (van Roekel et al., 2013) is the actual citation.

In general, see the final step in Troubleshooting Errors in Word Processor Documents, but there's a very good chance you just need to delete a bit more on each side.
Open the file in any text editor (like gedit), select all, copy, paste to pastebin.com, hastebin.com or a similar site, and post the link here.
(there are 6 citations, I miscounted)
1. In Zotero Document Preferences switching to Reference Marks
2. Copying the full text of the document to a new document
3. Switching back to Bookmarks again
Then see if you still see this issue.
When I open the document, the citation bookmark becomes empty. However, if I then switch from bookmarks to reference marks, the citation re-populates.
So it looks something like this, where the content between `[` and `]` is the bookmark/referencemark
Upon opening doc: (van Roekel et al., 201[]3)
Upon switch to reference marks: (van Roekel et al., 201[(van Roekel et al., 2013)]3)
After switching to reference marks in an ODT file, the problem has gone away. It still occurs with reference marks in a DOCX file.
