Using backslashes in in-text citations

I just noticed that when I use backslashes in the beginning of an in-text citation (to add some custom text), Bookends appears to insert a redundant opening parenthesis. If I write {\see also \Jones, 2010, #234}, the Bookends manual claims that this should be output after scanning as (see also Jones, 2010), but instead it becomes (see also (Jones, 2010).
I cannot seem to remember that this has happened before, so I am suspecting a bug...? Or have I missed something?
Best, Niklas

Please tell me what word processor (I'm guessing Word) and what version of Bookends you are using. It sounds like a bug I thought I fixed.

No I don't use word. It is a document exported from a text editor (Ulysses) and I am pretty sure they use Apple's own rtf engine. Actually, I just tried creating a new document in Apple's TextEdit and the same thing happens.

OK, I'm on vacation in Europe at the moment and can't test this. Please contact me offlist when I return (Oct. 5) and I'll deal with it.

OK thanks, I will. Enjoy your vacation (but, you probably shouldn't read this when you are on vacation you know...)!
