--- Comment #7 from Thomas Fischer <fisc...@unix-ag.uni-kl.de> ---
New forced push to test repository/branch.
> Tested. All appear resolved except (d). Current behavior on Plain
> Text/Reference/Source Code dropdown menus is:
>
> - dropdown menu changes do trigger the discard dialog, but...
>
> - when the attached text field is blank, the dropdown menu's value is
> "saved" whether the user discarded or saved
That should be fixed. Issue was for blank values the reset of the widget was
skipped, ignoring that the type (plain/reference) may have been changed.
> - but I think the menu value only gets saved to the dialog window. Example:
> I have 2 elements, both w/ a blank Abstract. The pulldown menu for both
> elements' Abstracts are set to Plain Text. I edit element 1 and change its
> Abstract's dropdown from Plain to Source. Whether I discard the change or

> Source. If I view the 2nd element, its Abstract's dropdown also shows Source.
This is mostly a GUI glitch. I think I fixed that now.

Actually, there are just two types in most cases:
1. plain text like title={Hello} which just shows the text inside the curly
brackets. For deeper-nested curly brackets like title={{A}bc {D}ef} just the
outer pair is hidden, and {A}bc {D}ef is shown
2. reference like title=Hello which refers to a string macro with key Hello
Source is just showing how the value would look like in a BibTeX file, meaning
for plain text it would include the outer curly brackets. However, it is no
type on its own and only meant for inspection or manual editing. As you can
easily shoot yourself into the foot by entering invalid BibTeX code, this mode
should be used with care.
Please test the latest code and let me know if that fixes all problems. I was
trying to follow your explanation, but I cannot rule out that I missed
something.
