MHRA not disambiguating between same author/presenter

I'm using MHRA 3rd edition (note with bibliography) with the word processor plugin.

I am citing a book chapter and presentation with the same author/presenter but the footnotes are not using short titles to differentiate between them.

Any suggestions how to do this? Thanks.

    Odd, could you paste those two citations here? Also, are your citations set to automatically update in the Document preferences?

    Yes, the document is set to automatically update citations.

    The first citations are:

    Wen-chin Ouyang, ‘The Curious Life of Objects in the Arabian Nights: What Can Food, Gems and Clothes Tell Us about Cultural Encounters?’ (unpublished Inaugural Lecture, SOAS, University of London, 2014) [accessed 9 January 2021].

    Wen-chin Ouyang, ‘The Arabian Nights in Chinese and English Translations: Differing Patterns of Cultural Encounter and World Literature’, in World Literature in Motion: Institution, Recognition, Location, Studies in World Literature, 7 (Stuttgart: ibidem-Verlag, 2020), pp. 435–74 (p. 436).

    Following citations are:

    Ouyang.

    Ouyang, p. 439.

    I set up a new word document and moved the text over which seemed to fix the issue, both short titles are now being cited.
