Huh. 

org-store-link worked perfectly after I ran my bibtex file through JabRef's cleanup function. 

I have not been able to isolate the change that caused the problem with org-store-link, but apparently, the bad link description was my bibtex file's fault.

Sorry for the false alarm!

Hi,  I've just updated to emacs 24.3.1 and org-mode 8.2, and the very useful org-store-link function is now broken.

For years, I've been inserting bibtex file links into my org files with this simple procedure:

  1. Put cursor on an article in a bibtex file
  2. C-c l
  3. Put cursor in org file
   4. C-c C-l

The result is a clean link in my org file that looks like this:

  Chow et al. 2010: Dynamic

But after the update, org-store-link (bound to C-c l) leaves the link description empty, so that the link now looks like this:

  file:energy.bib::Chow10dynPCAintTransf

Does anyone know how I can recover the old org-store-link behavior?

Thanks,

Scott
