Title won't go in Title

[gavagai]

I've created a new bookends entry and it looks like this right now: Sober, Elliott (2007): Quarterly Review of Biology 82:1, S. 3-8.
As usual I've copied the title of this journal article "What Is Wrong with Intelligent Design?" into the title item (space or whatever you call it). But it doesn't appear in the entry. I've already closed Bookends and restarted it again. The enry remains Sober, Elliott (2007): Quarterly Review of Biology 82:1, S. 3-8. with no title.
Then I've written manually "ssss" into the title. It stays blank.
What am I doing wrong?
I create lots of Bookends entries every day and usually all works well.

Hi,

Rebuild the database and see if that helps.

Hi, thanks.
I will do that but I stumbled over a solution in the meantime anyway: I copied the title into another field via "Past Plain Text" and then I copied that text into the title field also via "Past Plain Text". I assume there was – unseen to me – a wrong character in that title field which prohibited the title text to go into the field.
