Zotero 7 does not work with GDocs on Fedora 40

jslowinski
Hi, I’m trying to use Zotero 7 and Google Docs. I’m using Fedora 40. When I try to add a citation in Google Docs, a window pops up saying "Zotero is updating your document. Please wait," then the Zotero application closes, but the window stays open, and nothing happens. I can’t close the window either, so I have to refresh the document page. I’m using Zotero 7.03 (64-bit), installed via Gnome Software from the dl.flathub.org repository. I also tried downloading the file directly from zotero.org, but after launching and attempting to add a citation, a different problem occurs – the citation doesn’t insert, the application doesn’t crash, and a window with troubleshooting instructions appears -> https://www.zotero.org/support/google_docs#troubleshooting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions work. I’m using Chrome 128.0.6613.119 (64-bit) and Firefox 130.0 (64-bit). The problem is the same in both browsers.

    We can only help with the official tarball. Word processor integration in the Zotero 7 Flatpak — which we have nothing to do with — is broken.

    For the error with the tarball, we'd want a Report ID to start.

    Official tarbal does not work too - after launching and attempting to add a citation, a different problem occurs – the citation doesn’t insert, the application doesn’t crash, and a window with troubleshooting instructions appears -> https://www.zotero.org/support/google_docs#troubleshooting.

    There's no error in there. Make sure you're submitting the Report ID after triggering the error and before restarting Zotero.

    What's the actual message that you're receiving?
