JabRef normalizes "ul-Somewhere, Someone" to "ul Somewhere, Someone" (undesirable). This is presumably a side-effect of the (desirable) behaviour of normalizing "Someone-ul-Somewhere" to "ul-Somewhere, Someone". IOW, the hyphen between first name and prefix should be lost on normalization, but hyphens between prefix and last name should be preserved.

Obviously, there are more prosaic examples. "Someone le-GrandAuthor" should normalize to "le-GrandAuthor, Someone" not "le GrandAuthor, Someone".

[If there is already a bug report on this then I will need guidance on how to use the search field!]
