Author disappears when I edit bibliography

edited February 11, 2024
I am well aware of the perils of such edits, but I can't figure out why the author keeps disappearing from the bibliography when I make any edits in the Edit Bibliography editor.

The author's name is not included at all in the editable text, but when I change even a period, the author disappears from the bibliography. The only time it seems to work to its intended effect is when there are multiple works from the same author. In that case, my edits appear as I made them and nothing else changes. But even in that case, if I edit the work immediately below the author's name in the bibliography, the author's name disappears.

I imagine the editable text is there for a reason, but it seems unusable for this reason.

Thank you to the developers for all the excellent work.
