JabRef version

5.9 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Manjaro 22.0.1

Checked with the latest development build

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Create a Bibliography, make sure browser import works
  2. Open a supported publication
  3. Click import in browser, accept in JabRef
  4. Examine BibTeX source code
  5. Note ' character in first line

Appendix

Debugging yields no clear results for me; I suspect that in jabrefHost.py, line 99, the argument is overquoted. The argument should never be shell-expanded, so the quote should end up in the data transferred to JabRef. Interestingly, the quotes are absent from the MacOS host script.

This may be the cause of the quotes encountered in #9582 .
