--- Comment #3 from Fred Labrosse <f...@aber.ac.uk> ---
(In reply to Thomas Fischer from comment #1)
> > This used to work.
> Handling of quotation marks was broken in special cases, and as such curly
> brackets got enforced.
>
> The problem is due the fact that KBibTeX could not handle cases where the
> user's text (title, author, ...) contained quotation marks. For example, a
> title like 'A "B" C' would have been written as
> title = "A "B" C"
> which is invalid. To avoid such problems, curly brackets got enforced when
> writing .bib files.
>
> As of commit 81f383f0eab238e, currently only available on my private
> repository [1] in branch bugs/kde364030, KBibTeX will try to detect those
> problems and will write the title as follows:
> title = "A {"}B{"} C".
>
> This is the supposed behaviour as of described in "Tame the BeaST" (p. 20)
> [2].

> Please test the commit referred to above to confirm if the problem is fixed

> > Linked to that, other options on the panel are not remembered.
> > For example, I have un-ticked the protect casing option (I do that
> > myself if needed) and it comes back the next time I open kbibtex.
> That is a different problem I am going to investigate next.
