Thanks for the report. The error message looks similar to #8870
There seems to be something wrong with detecting the char set.

Can you open the bib file in an application like Notepad++ and check the encoding? JabRef always tries to Write and Read in UTF-8.
And second, would it be possible for you to make the bib file available to us? (You can send it privately to [email protected]

[Siedlerchr]

Thanks a lot for the files. I could reproduce this on my machine as well.
The problem lies in our approach to automatically identify the charset. Later on, we try to check if the first line contains the encoding comment. However, if the wrong charset previously was identified as e.g. UTF8, but it is like UTF16BE the String comparsion fails, because java compares the chars on a byte level and those obviously don't match in different charsets.
