Unable to add footnotes in Google Docs

I've seen this posted elsewhere but haven't seen a consistent solution. I just updated to 6.0.6 beta after having this issue with 6.0.5. but have not found success.

Maybe 4 out of 5 times I try to add a footnote citation in a Google Doc, the footnote remains stuck on the hyperlinked {Updating} note. When I click on it, I usually get a notification along the lines of: "Selected field 8QLKjx not returned from Docs backend." I've uninstalled and reinstalled Zotero, updated Chrome, refreshed, logged in and out of Drive to no avail. Occasionally, it will work if I quit and restart Zotero, but the problem returns soon after.

Anyone else find a permanent solution to this issue? It's driving me crazy.
