Apostrophe is interpreted as an accent

[wgrundlingh]

JabRef version 3.8.2 on Windows.

Chv\'atal's should be interpreted as Chvátal's, not Chvátalś. It shows correctly in the "entry preview", but not in the database.

Here is an example bibliography entry:

@Article{fisk,
  Title                    = {A short proof of Chv\'atal's watchman theorem},
  Author                   = {S Fisk},
  Journal                  = {Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B},
  Year                     = {1978},
  Pages                    = {374},
  Volume                   = {24}
}

Hello, this bug should be fixed in the latest development version. Please try again with the version from here: http://builds.jabref.org/master/

Since this is the third report coming in for the exact same problem, I think we should leave it open and mark as fixed-in-dev-builds so that people see that this has been fixed.

Indeed, the dev version fixes this as far as I can see. Thanks!

Could you confirm that this fix also applies to the author field? The apostrophe in names such as O'Neill display incorrectly as an acute accent over the 'N' in much the same way as above.

[lenhard]

@pirlite2 Yes, this also applies to the author field. I just tried it out in the dev version I have installed locally and O'Neill displays as it should and not as an acute accent.

You can get a dev version here http://builds.jabref.org/master/ Note that it changes a lot of things related to groups, so if you use groups, make a backup of your bib file.

I was observing this very behaviour, and upon realizing that a bug report from 2017 discusses the same 3.8.2 version that I am running on my Ubuntu 22.04 made me realize how ancient the JabRef of Ubuntu's official repositories is.
