JabRef version 4.3-dev on Arch Linux x86_64

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have an entry corresponding to the BibTeX entry below containing {\textendash} in its title (with a real PDF existing at the specified location, which for demonstration purposes starts with a literal - in the relevant place):
  2. Select the entry, and in "General -> File" choose to Rename the file (based on the metadata)
  3. Notice the new filename: Wu2014 - Initial Design with L2 Monge Kantorovich Theory for the Monge}Ampere Equation Method in Freeform Surface Illumination Design.pdf with its uncoupled } where the hyphen should be.
  4. Attempt to save, (understandably) get this error:
    a
  5. When performing this operation as part of "Quality -> Cleanup Entries", JabRef freezes.
