[Jabref-users] Problem with the BibTeX key generator [authorsN][year]

[Alessandro S. R. <ale...@ya...>]

Dear JabRef users,
I am using the new JabRef version (2.11.1) for Ubuntu 14.04.
I have set the BibTeX key generator to [authors1][year], which means that the BibTeX key should consist of the last name of up to 1 author -- if there are more authors, “EtAl” should be appended. The publication year should be appended as well. However, JabRef is not using the last name of the first author. Instead, the BibTeX is being composed of “EtAl” and the publication year. Please note that the problem only appears when the entry has two or more authors.
I hope to have been clear on my description.
