Zotero uses Open Office Writer's ReferenceMarks to store and display in-text
citations. When the mouse hovers over a citation, the field code of the
ReferenceMark is shown in a tooltip. For a single citation, this text takes up
the entire width of the screen; for a few citations (about 7), the field code
text makes the tooltip long enough to freak out Compiz and cause the display to
fall back to Metacity.

So, in the best case the field code data is distracting and uninformative for
users and shouldn't be displayed. In the worst case, it causes buggy behaviour
due to other software's not unreasonable expectation that a tooltip should fit
on the screen.

Why are field codes of ReferenceMarks shown on screen as tooltips? It seems that
in this case there is no justification that they should be displayed.
