It would be great if the software could warn you of the
use of non-supported characters. I find I have to be
very careful when copying abstracts in case there are
percentage symbols or others that can mess up the TeX
build.

    The current warning (when ssaving the file) is too late -- I
    might have imported 10 or 20 references since I last saved
    the file (saving takes a while with a big library!) and
    finding the "bad" character is often quite difficult.

    Could the unsupported characters warning be shown when you
    change references or even change fields rather than just
    when you save? (A little like the duplicate BibTeX key
    warning is shown when you change references)
