[Bibdesk-users] 1.5.8 and 1.6.0: Tex preview bug difference
I don't remember this being reported. When I use Tex Preview (which I have customized a little to get the output style I want), if there's a non ASCII character in the abstract field of the Bibdesk record (eg a greek character), v 1.5.8 reports an error (though the log doesn't tell you what it is), but v 1.6.0 just runs indefinitely and you have to quit the app. Both work once you've cleared out the offending character(s) (I cut and paste to/from the Abstract field using BBEdit to replace non standard chars).
