It's a necessary feature.

It's a wrong mapping. The mendeley's 'issue' field should be mapped into 'number' field in bib file.

And there is a workaround, which also filter out the url and doi:
cat ../collection1.bib | sed -e '/^url = {/d' -e '/^doi = {/d' -e 's/^issue =/number =/' > paper.bib

1. a button to force syncing;
2. a setting to specify a path of bib file per collection respectively;
3. a bibtex key generator like this: http://jabref.sourceforge.net/help/LabelPatterns.php
4. a button or menu item for one or more selected papers to generate a new bibtex key

1. Let a user define the BibTex key generating pattern, like '[auth][year][veryshorttitle]' in JabRef
2. If an entry bibtex key has been given by user, keep it while exporting.
3. sync the bib file with a tag

Thanks, Danlea.

For your hint, I have also fixed it with a workaround. I remove all libQt*.so.4files in the 'lib' directory (libQtCore.so.4, libQtNetwork.so.4, libQtSvg.so.4, libQtGui.so.4, libQtSql.so.4, libQtXml.so.4) which are packaged in mendeleydesktop-0.9.4.1-linux-i486.tar.bz2 (generic), and then the clipboard works well.

I hope the mendeley team gives a clear guide for this problem.

Fix this, please.

This bug is really much annoying.
