Long lines are not wrapped, and are sent out the screen, because they
are truncated.
This is a different phenomena,
I tried with a clean (no init no site) emacs launch and it still occurs.
Notice that I also have truncated lines when such lines are longer
that the window.
My problem is with bibtex files which have hardcoded newline (i.e.
multiline fields)
in fields that are shown in the index.
Since next/prev-entry move the cursor by the use of
forward/backward-line, index entries of more than one line
mess everything up.
This behaviour can be reproduced with the following .emacs and test.bib
.emacs contains only the customization of ebib-index-display-fields
I tried with both ebib.el from 1.8.0 and git repository.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy at work...

Ah ok, I didn't realise that. Then of course truncate-lines won't have any
effect, because to Emacs those titles consist of multiple lines...

Yes, obviously. I never considered that anyone might want to have multiline
values in the title field...
It certainly needs to be fixed, I'll try and get around to it ASAP.
Thanks for reporting this.

hi,
i'm not knowledgeable about elisp. in the current ebib implementation,
is it possible to write an elisp function, that takes a bibtex entry
as argument, and starts ebib, opens a standard database (possible also
given as argument), and directly positions the cursor at the specified
bibtex entry in the index buffer?

it's possible, yes, but not entirely trivial. it would involve loading the
relevant database, setting the desired entry as the current entry and then
updating the display.
i'll see if i have some time this weekend to come up with something.

A function like this would be very useful to have! Thank you for
taking time to look at it. I'm currently using orgmode in emacs for
keeping track of all my day-to-day tasks, and use ebib to manage all
my references. The function I described would be like a glue between
orgmode and ebib which would simplify my life significantly. Also, I
believe several other users have asked similar questions on the
orgmode mailing list. So, I'm sure more than one person would benefit
from it.
Thanks again,

Hi Jamie,
TTBOMK no-one's working on that. So feel free to put something together. :-)
Best,
Joost

hi ali,
it took me a while to get round to it, but i finally wrote the function you
asked for... it's in the git repository now, if you use git, just check out the
latest version. (if you don't want to use git, let me know, i can make a new
release at sourceforge. which won't take as long as it took to write the
function. promise. :-/ )
the function is called 'ebib-start-on-entry'. it takes one argument, the entry
key of the entry you want selected. note that this entry has to be in the last
database that is preloaded through the customisation option "Ebib Preload Bib
Files", or, if Ebib is already running in the background, it has to be in the
current database. if 'ebib-start-on-entry' doesn't find the entry key, it simply
acts as if you called 'ebib'.
you can call 'ebib-start-on-entry' from a function with
(ebib-start-on-entry "Jones1998")
or you can call it interactively with `M-x ebib-start-on-entry'. in that case,
you'll be prompted to supply the entry you want selected.
i know it's pretty late, but hopefully the function is still helpful. :-)
best,
joost
