Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: referencer
I've identified this bug and i know how it can be fixed but i don't know
enough about GTK to fix it myself.
The bug: When adding a new document to your library the "Key: " value can
currently be input as more than one word.
Problem: When using BibTex output from referencer the key needs to be only one
word or else latex programs have bugs. e.g. lyx cannot parse output at all and
you are left with an empty reference.
User oriented Solution: notify user that they have entered a key with spaces in
it and get them to change it before saving entry
Least effort Solution: replace all spaces in key values with underscores.
I have attached a patch for the "least Effort Solution" and would like it if it
were included somehow ( i don't really know how this is done ). I used git to
generate the patch from the current apt-get source file of referencer in Ibex
referencer-1.1.2 .
This is a reproducible bug that is completely fixed with this patch.
** Affects: referencer (Ubuntu)
