Duplicates for same author when creating bibliography

JenHayter
I'm having a strange problem. When I create a bibliography, either by dragging entries into another program (eg. Pages or Scrivener) or by right-clicking and selecting "Create Bibliography from Selected Item", I get duplicates for all entries by the same author.

Here's an example. I have two entries for Donald A. Ritchie. If I drag them separately, I get:

Donald A. Ritchie, Doing oral history: a practical guide (New York: Oxford University Press, 2003).
Donald A. Ritchie, The Oxford handbook of oral history (New York: Oxford University Press, 2011).

If I highlight and drag them both at the same time, I get:

Donald A. Ritchie, Doing oral history: a practical guide (New York: Oxford University Press, 2003).
Donald A. Ritchie, Doing oral history: a practical guide (New York: Oxford University Press, 2003).

I am using a Mac OS 10.6.7, FIrefox 4.0.1 and Zotero 2.1.8 I have used Zotero for several years and have always been happy, but I'm starting to research my dissertation and need to be sure I can keep my sources straight.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

    I have the same problem and would be very glad if anyone could suggest a solution.

    Hey guys, I was getting the same problem.

    Try changing the bibliographic style. In my case, generating a bibliography with the "Chicago Manual of Style (Note without Bibliography)" was producing this behavior, but when I changed it to "IEEE" it worked just fine.

    Good luck!
