Hello Ted and Florian, thanks for narrowing down this bug. Till now I thought the loss of citations field appeared somehow randomly. But indeed, It occours when text with citations ist copied and pasted and everything works fine if it is cut and pasted. Interestingly, if one cuts and pastes, the correct citation fields appear only the first time you paste the text. If you paste it again, the fields are lost.
