[BUG !! ] LibreOffice integrator in master document for multiple citations
OS: Ubuntu 20.04
LibreOffice: 7.1.3.2
Zotero: 5.096.2
LO integration: 5.0.23
Dear all,
When in LO Writer I add documents with multiple citations in IEEE style (i.e. " [1]-[10] ") into a master document .odm and I refresh the citations to update the numbering across multiple documents, the layout of the page is broken and all the text after the citation block is not displayed anymore.
Here ( https://postimg.cc/ZCzPdNDP ) an image of the problem.
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1.create two .odt documents IEEE style with multiple citation followed by text. Citations should be clustered e.g. [1]-[4] for each document.
2. create a master document .odm and insert the two .odt as "File"
3. Press "Refresh" from the Zotero toolbar to have the number of citations subsequent in the two documents.
4. the second document should fragment the layout and erase all the text in the same paragraph of the multiple citation.
Any idea if this is a bug or there is an actual fix?

The recommendation from LO is to use master documents for very long/heavy documents, which is a very good thing.
I thought the dev for master documents was running ( https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73378/working-with-zotero-and-master-subdocuments , https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1671/zotero-and-master-document-in-openoffice/ ). I think, as a patch, I will copy-paste all the single documents into one and run Zotero from there.
I love the Zotero project and I hope the priority of the integration dev group will include such a crucial feature, used for most of the high profile scientific production.
Thank you for your work!
I hope that two top open-source project like LO and Zotero could collaborate more tightly and benefit from the synergy in terms of a broader audience.
