Bug#946486: [kbibtex] Wrong field ending leads to file corruption when using biblatex

Package: kbibtex
Version: 0.8.1-1+b1
kbibtex misplaces double-quotation ending in title and subtitle fields when filling them 
after selecting BibLaTeX as bibliography system (I haven't tried others though). Steps:

1) Setup kbibtex to use BibLaTex.
2) Create a "New element": journal article, whatever.
3) Fill either Title or Subtitle boxes.
4) Change to Source tab and see how ending double quotes are misplaced leading to a 
corrupt biblatex file:
	title = "{My long title"} instead of title = "{My long title}"

This causes biblatex file corruption when keeping on filling fields in other tabs' boxes (you 
can track this inspecting Source tab as you enter new data). A workaround is to manually 
correct the ending in Source tab and then entering data should behave the right way, at 
least until you create another "New element".

Regards,
Antonio
