Getting all caps

[simonlindgren]

I am using BBT (5.1.83) in Zotero (5.0.66) with zotpick-pandoc.applescript. My citation key format in BBT is "[auth:lower][year]". But, still, zotpick outputs my references in uppercase, as in [NAME2013B]. Has something gone bad with recent Zotero updates, or am I doing something wrong?

Please verify all of the below before submitting:

1. you have picked the right category for the issue in the previous screen.
2. in the Zotero addons screen you can see that you have the latest release of BBT (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/releases/latest) and Zotero installed
3. you are posting a single bug or feature request
4. you have included a descriptive subject of the problem
5. you are available for follow-up questions and testing
6. you have included an error-report ID here generated by reproducing the problem, selecting the problematic reference(s), right-clicking, and submitting an BBT error report from that popup menu

Picking the right issue category is really important. Each category (Export, General error, Import, Key generation, Question) has different instructions for gathering the data necessary required to resolve the issue you are experiencing

The error report is important; it gives me your current BBT settings and a copy of the problematic reference as a test case so I can best replicate your problem. Without it, I'm effectively blind.

If you click http://localhost:23119/better-bibtex/cayw?format=pandoc and pick that reference, what do you see in your browser?

[simonlindgren]

If I do the localhost:23119 thing, I get the right (lowercase) version of the reference. But if I use the zotpick applescript from https://github.com/davepwsmith/zotpick-applescript to insert in any editor, it gets capitalised.

[retorquere]

BBTs activity ends with what ends up in your browser. Where do you see the uppercased version?

[simonlindgren]

Well, that would then be after BBTs activity ends, as the uppercased version is what comes out if I use the zotpick applescript from https://github.com/davepwsmith/zotpick-applescript to insert in any editor.

[retorquere]

zotpick-pandoc.applescript just takes whatever you see there in your browser and emulates typing it in whatever app is the foreground app. I don't know exactly what happens during that typing.

[simonlindgren]

I see. It is very odd, as this used to work perfectly before, but not any more.

I have tried inserting in several different editors, so it is not about that either.

Super annoying!

[retorquere]

When I run this in Script Editor, I get it pasted into Script Editor without the capitalization. There must be something running on your system that interferes.

[simonlindgren]

I've got it! When setting up a new mac (being Swedish as I am) there is the option to set either "Swedish" or "Swedish - Pro" as your input source. I never really understood the difference, so sometimes when setting up a new system I choose one, and sometimes the other. I turns out that it was the "Pro" setting which caused this. Using basic "Swedish" as input source solved it!

[retorquere]

Professional Swedes shout all the time?

[simonlindgren]

Seems like it :)

[retorquere]

The B at the end is a dead giveaway BTW. That's the disambiguation postfix and BBT never under any circumstance capitalizes that -- you can't make it if you wanted to.

[simonlindgren]

Realized now, that it wasn't the Swedish/Swedish Pro thing. The error went away after switching the input source. When switching back to Pro it still works.
