Is it just me, or do others find that reply an unusually curt response for Zotero staff! I don't think my comments merited quite that terse a reply.

Let me put it differently. Zotero is using the document style default and not the style in effect at the exact point where the insertion is made. This is, I would argue, conceptually incorrect; Zotero should use the style in effect at the insertion point, and it should not modify or alter content outside of its own domain - notes, bibliographies, etc.

In other words, I think this is a very modest design bug, or at least something where there is a need for some control over which style (default or local) Zotero uses when inserting a citation.

Well then, I will thank you for your efforts, and accept your comments in the spirit they were intended. Thank you.

I hope that you and others would comment on what I see as a very minor design issue. I don't want to change the default style for the document, but I do want Zotero to respect the style in effect at the point that I want the citation inserted.

Thanks for pointing me to these.
