Bibliography does not follow section columns

[fangly]

In LibreOffice Writer, when editing a document that is formatted in two columns, any inserted Zotero bibliography ignores the columns and uses the entire page width. This behoaviour is seen when Zotero formats the document with ReferenceMarks. However, when using Bookmarks, the bibliography follows the column layou, as expected.

This issue has been encountered by several users: see https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/29185/insert-bibliography-doesnt-follow-section-columns-libreoffice/

My software versions are:
Zotero Firefox addon 4.0.17.1
Zotero LibreOffice integration 3.5.8
LibreOffice 4.0.4.2

I made some example files available at http://www.sendspace.com/file/r10xxw and http://www.sendspace.com/file/w7kte9

Sorry I am not developer and I actually never contributed to zotero... I was just passing around. I cannot reproduce your bug. For me zotero keeps the column format even using References marks. Perhaps you could modified the page styles (Default style) and Paragraph style (Bibliography 1) that zotero use to keep your format. A little bit like this: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_default_font
Sorry if it doesn't help you.

I am now on:
LibreOffice 4.2.7.2
Zotero 4.0.26.1
Zotero LibreOffice integration 3.5.9

The test files are not available anymore. However, I cannot seem to reproduce the bug anymore. It looks like it may have been fixed...

I'm experiencing the same issue.

_Reference marks (NOT OK)_:

_Bookmarks (OK)_:

I'm also using a two column paper ODT template in LibreOffice Writer and when using “Add/Edit Bibliography” like for @fabiofdsantos a full page width new format style and new section is inserted:

ZOTERO_BIBL {"uncited":[],"omitted":[],"custom":[]} CSL_BIBLIOGRAPHY RND...

I'm not able to easily move/bring the bibliography into the two column page layout TextSection where all the document content beside title and author should be.
Beside this github issues thread I found no Online resources about this issue and possible workarounds :-/

This seems to be gone in LibreOffice 7.0.3, so I'm closing it.
