Jason Alexander posted a comment on ticket #1598
That was the problem — the full path to the directory containing the LaTeX file I was editing had a double-quote in it. Removing that fixed the problem. Apologies for the misguided bug report!

I just tried 1.8.6 (5740) and that seems to have fixed the problem. I was able to import three entries by pasting them in from the clipboard, and each time they appeared in the library and the edit window appeared. Excellent.

Here’s a workaround, for the record. In cases where a relevant field has TeX code which isn’t (or won’t be) caught, put into that field a clean variant of the text before adding the local file. Autofile will then use the clean variant text when adding the file and constructing the name. If the entry is then edited afterwards, the correct TeX code can be put into the field as BibDesk doesn’t modify the file name after the fact.

I did, but when I emptied out all of the script hooks from ~/Library/Application Support/BibDesk/Scripts and restarted, the problem is still there.

Weird. I was able to reproduce the problem with a clean start of BibDesk and copying two BibTeX records from Google scholar, as you can see below. This is, I think, a minimal sequence of actions because I’m not adding PDFs, editing fields, etc. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xu4q8d3e305suaj/BibDesk%20minimal%20copy%20from%20clipboard%20bug.mov?dl=0 It must be a system-specific problem, but I have no idea what it could be.

Here’s a third run, and with the console.log output. There are a number of BibDesk entries in there, but I don’t know what they mean. https://www.dropbox.com/s/21o7zbaitcrh038/BibDesk%20minimal%20copy%20bug%203%20with%20console.mov?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zo1ye4031lyr0ji/console-log-with-bibdesk.log?dl=0 Thanks for looking at this.

Ok — will do.

The problem must be something else you are doing that somehow creates a problem in the program, and you are doing several things.

Great — I’m happy to check a nightly build, if you want. And thanks for all your work on BibDesk. I’ve been using many more of the features over the past few days — linking to PDFs, URLS — and customizing templates. It’s so much better than all the paid software I’ve used before. Papers, for example, was ok originally, but then it got worse with every upgrade and version after the company sold it to ReadCube is terrible.

Ah - thanks. For some reason, anti-aliasing got turned off when I upgraded to Catalina. I changed the setting and all is back to normal. Sorry to have wasted your time.

As a follow-up, it seems that this only happens when the window is sufficiently tall. The screenshots I posted show a window tall enough to fit more than 2 slides on-screen at the same time. If I resize the window vertically so as to make it shorter, the PDF no longer scrolls forward one page after auto-refreshing.
