In the reference,

@Manual{JabRef_software,
  Title                    = {JabRef},
  Author                   = {{JabRef Development Team}},
  Year                     = {2015},
  Version                  = {Version 2.11.1},
  Url                      = {http://www.jabref.org}
}

The curly braces in the Author field are ignored, causing, for example, its associated in-text citation to be presented as "(Team, 2015)", rather than, "(JabRef Development Team, 2015)". Curly braces should be honored in in-text citations.

What do you mean by in-text citation?
The above reference shows "JabRef Development Team" in the main table and
Manual (JabRef_software) JabRef Development Team JabRef 2015 in the preview. Both seem to be correct.

Please post a minimal working example including the .tex and the .bib file and the tools you are using (biber or bibtex, pdflatex or latex, ...)

Sorry, for not mentioning that this is from JabRef to LibreOffice Writer (version 5.0.5.2), so there is no .tex file. I can whip up a .bib file if that would be helpful, however.

By "in-text citation," I mean the writing signifying that a work has been cited that appears in the body of a document. So if this were part of a journal article that I used JabRef (Team 2015) to help me create a bibliography for, the in-text citation would be "(Team 2015)". [Though ideally it should be "(JabRef Development Team 2015)".]

I can just comment briefly: there is code to check for this case, namely a method isInstitution(). Not sure exactly where I saw it though...

I can confirm this bug. Version LO: 5.0.2.2 (x64) on Window 7.
I'll look through it.
