What it does

Written by AI from the README

Fixes the misplaced reference marker in Zotero's citation hover popups, so the dot sits at the first line of the reference it points to.

A temporary workaround for a Zotero 10.0.5 bug where the marker is shifted down and to the right in the preview. Its developer says it was tested on macOS and should be disabled once Zotero fixes the bug.
