This sounds like a duplicate of bug 388892. As your KBibTeX version is about 1.5 years old, please test the latest KBibTeX 0.8.x version to see if the bug has been fixed. In case there are no packages for your distribution, you can try the run-kbibtex.sh script which you can find here: https://cgit.kde.org/scratch/thomasfischer/kbibtex-related.git/tree/run Execute the script as follows: bash run-kbibtex.sh https://anongit.kde.org/clones/kbibtex/thomasfischer/kbibtex.git kbibtex/0.8 Have you had the opportunity to test the latest KBibTeX version?

SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a new journal article with a multi-word title, e.g.: This is an Article Do not use curly braces. 2. Add a volume number under 'Publication'. 3. Add other details as needed/desired. 4. Save. OBSERVED RESULT a. KBibTeX has attempted to insert curly braces, but they didn't play nice with the quote characters. The result is: "{This is an Article"} b. The volume number has been deleted. EXPECTED RESULT a. No data loss. The volume number should not be lost. b. No corruption. The title should be "{This is an Article}" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.47.0 Qt Version: 5.9.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION KBibTeX 0.8~20170819git31a77b27e8e83836e-3build2
