the "and" is to distinguish between different people. the comma is used to distinguish between the first name and the last name. and it is different from the space. e.g. "lastname, firstname" or "firstname lastname"

However, when the comma was removed in the author, it worked.

Thank you. I'll fix this bug.

thanks for your hard working, please let me know when the bug is fixed.

I have a question,we should split names with "and" ,why use comma?
And If the comma is Chinese comma,all goes well.

Hi, i am using JabRef (JabRef 5.2--2020-12-14--e9be339 Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 amd64 Java 15.0.1) on Debian sid.
After importing the Chinese essay, manually insert a space or comma, such as 王, 阳 or 王 阳, the citationkey will generate successfully, but the Reference section of essay will display "王 阳"(there is a space between王 and 阳, not "王阳".
How could you resolve this problem, thanks!
