Given that the problem involves data loss, it is appropriate to inform
this list.
To reproduce the problem, open the attached .bib file. BibDesk
correctly points out the invalid character in despeyroux-proof, but it
does not mention the undefined string in abadi-conjoining. Fix the
first error and click on Reopen, and it opens without further
complaint. Save, and you find that the line journal=toplas is gone.
Past versions of BibDesk reported undefined strings as errors. The lack
of complaint I took to mean that such string references would now be
left untouched.
The invalid characters, incidentally, came from another .bib file
manager, Auc-TeX I think, which thought it was "clever" to replace the
TeX accents by accented characters in some encoding.
Thanks for helping, and I do think BibDesk has the potential to be
great.
