OS: Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition) x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.9.7-200.fc40.x86_64
DE: GNOME 46.3.1
Steps to reproduce
Zotero Integration Hotkey → Select item from menu →
Results in following error:
‘Error retrieving item data: Unexpected end of JSON input’
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?
Y
I can’t test this in restricted mode as the issue requires plugin to be active.
I did try with default theme and turned off all snippets.
Expected result
Normally… (has been working in past) it outputs text as a new note into my folder INBOX flowing templates I’ve setup. However, this was last year and I haven’t used this year until trying this week.
Actual result
‘Error retrieving item data: Unexpected end of JSON input’
