Please see the latest commit from branch 'bugs/kde401553' in my personal
repository clone:
https://cgit.kde.org/clones/kbibtex/thomasfischer/kbibtex.git/log/?h=bugs/kde401553

This should fix the problem.

To test the code, please see here:
https://userbase.kde.org/KBibTeX/Development#Quick_Start_to_Run_KBibTeX_from_Git
but invoke the script as follows:
bash run-kbibtex.sh
https://cgit.kde.org/clones/kbibtex/thomasfischer/kbibtex.git bugs/kde401553


> There may be issues with other characters not being escaped correctly. For
> example, see bug 185433 in kframeworks-kio -- since 2009, all KDE Save As
> dialogs fail to escape double quotation marks. For example, entering the

>

>

> "test"

I can confirm that this problem occurs in KBibTeX, too. So, waiting for an
upstream fix ...

Nice to hear :-)
