Zotero – can't enter protected spaces into citation suffix
Hi Zotero Team,
this is my first post to this forum, so I hope that I follow all the rules.
I have a report of a minor bug. In the Zotero Cite dialog (the one which opens when I click on add/edit citation in Word), it is not possible to insert text with protected spaces.
Use case: I use Zotero for my doctoral thesis on law in Germany. Many sources are cited by so called Randnummern (marginal numbers), which I enter into the suffix, which then looks like "Rn. 18". Between the Rn. and the 18 I want to enter a protected space so that I do not get a footnote "Rn./LINEBREAK/18". For the prefix, there's a similar use case.
There might be a small bug preventing this. I tried it both on Windows and Mac and with copying over a protected space – neither produces the expected result.
Any help would be appreciated!
Kind regards,
Fabian

You could use one of the locators (such as "Note") and customize the citation style accordingly (i.e. define the short term for note as Rn. and putting a nbsp between locator label and locator, but that's the only option I can currently think of.
