Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

See http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12582/unable-to-use-bookmarks-in-zotero-in-ubuntu-1004 (and other threads in those forums).

The Zotero reference manager allows the use of bookmarks, which are compatible between OO.o Writer and MS Word. It is not possible to use these bookmarks in Go-oo Writer under Lucid. Several Zotero users have reported this error, which seems to be new with Lucid. The version of go-oo that ships with Lucid [3.20m12 (build 9483)] and the current git branch of 3.2.1 seem to both be affected, but Sun's versions of 3.2.0 and 3.2.1 seem not to be.

To reproduce the error (screenshot of error message attached):
1. Install Zotero for firefox
  http://www.zotero.org/download/zotero-2.0.3.xpi
2. Install the Zotero/OO.o integration plugin for firefox:
  http://www.zotero.org/download/integration/Zotero-OpenOffice-Plugin-3.0a8.xpi
3. (Re)launch firefox and OO.o writer
4. Select "Insert Citation" from the Zotero toolbar
5. Select any citation style that allows formatting using bookmark
6. Select any reference from your Zotero library
