I encountered a problem in BibDesk v1.6.5, and I found a solution to the
problem that I am sharing here in case anyone else encounters this problem.
I am using Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. After I upgraded to BibDesk v1.6.5, I
encountered a problem that I did not have in BibDesk v1.6.4: After
upgrading, when I typed a space and a double hyphen (" --") into the
Abstract field of the Editor window in BibDesk, the double hyphen was
automatically replaced by an em dash (" "). This was a problem for me
because I use LaTeX, and in LaTeX an em dash is represented by three
hyphens, not two hyphens. So BibDesk would save the em dash as three
hyphens, not two hyphens as I wanted! Therefore this autoreplace behavior
was highly undesirable for me.
The solution I found was to go to the Keyboard preference pane in System
Preferences, select the Text pane, and uncheck "Use smart quotes and
dashes". Of course, this change applies in all applications.
It is very interesting that BibDesk v1.6.4 did not respect the system-wide
"Use smart quotes and dashes" preference (at least in Mavericks) but BibDesk
v1.6.5 does. The change is probably an improvement, but one needs to know
how to turn it off if desired, as I described above.
