Hi, Consider the following BibTeX entry: @misc{placeholder, author = {Mamoru Miura <mamo0110@gmail.com>}, created = {[2022-07-19 Tue 09:44]}, howpublished = {ML:Org mode}, link = {notmuch:id:9F4AA657-D34B-4B85-A80D-1DD4B3017DB2@gmail.com}, note = {Online; accessed 19 July 2022}, title = {Re: Bug: Appointments duration and effort sums in agenda column view [9.3.7 (release_9.3.7-700-ga1e5be @ ~/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]}, typealt = {email}, year = 2022, } Put the point at the "year" field and run M-: (bibtex-beginning-of-entry) Observed: Point moves to the @ ~/.emacs.d line. Expected: Point moves to @misc The problem is not only with the direct call to bibtex-beginning-of-entry, but also shows up in functions that make use of this function. For example, (bibtex-generate-autokey) or (bibtex-autokey-get-title) will treat "title" field as empty in the above scenario.

I guess the problem is with the @ in the title entry?
I've added Roland to the CCs; perhaps he has some comments.

Yes, bibtex-beginning-of-entry is doing
(re-search-backward "^[ \t]*@" nil 'move) which does not match the right
thing in this particular case.
Best,

This old part of the code should use bibtex-entry-maybe-empty-head.
Looking at the code, it frequently performs a strange dance
where a call of bibtex-beginnig-of-entry is followed by
(looking-at bibtex-entry-maybe-empty-head).
That doesn't make sense, it works around the above bug instead of
doing it right in the first place. I'll look for a better solution
for this.

I do have a ptach that I'll install shortly (my internet access is
limited right now).
