Citations automatically unlinked using google docs/firefox
Hi! I've come into a problem writing my thesis this morning. I tried to change the bibliography style and zotero unlinked all my citations. ctrl+z did nothing so I restored a previous version of the document, but then the problem doesn't seem to have been solved as any change I makeI juste have the "unlinked citations" pop-up again.
Report ID: 1095960005
Steps to reproduce it:
1. Open document that already has citations and bibliography
2. Open document preferences and change bibliography style
3. Pop-up appears telling me that all my citations have been unlinked.
4. Restore previous document version
5. Make any change (add citation, change style etc) and the problem is still there.
Funny thing is, I opened a new document, wrote some paragraphs, added citations and changed bibliography style with no problem. It just happens with the thesis document and any copy I make of it.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help me!

Are you able to share a copy of the document, or a small excerpt of it that still triggers the problem, from before this happens? If so, can you send a share link to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?
Have a nice day!
We can modify that copy as necessary?
Yeah I made sure that the share settings were correct and this is a copy so do whatever you have to!
Should i send you a copy of this version?
If you cut and pasted to from/to another document, that could have very well have been the cause of the citation unlinking. If you did it without the Zotero Connector installed that's a definite. If not, it may have been due to a bug with the Zotero Connector that we haven't discovered yet.
I have no idea about how this happened.
Luckily that last version is pretty recent and I don't have a lot of citations to relink by hand so I think I will work with that. I just hoped you'd find a solution for someone who had less luck...
Thank you for your help.
