Hi, I guess this is a bug report. When I use the "add entry manually" feature and use the arXiv catalog lookup, Mendeley is no longer retrieving the abstract. Other metadata (authors, year, title) appears fine, though it's possible something else is missing (author keywords are hard to check since not all arXiv papers have them, I think). I am using Mendeley Desktop 1.9.2, and this problem started on Mon 5 Aug (possibly just after a software update). I have tried on two different computers both running Ubuntu linux 12.04. Thanks for resolving this!
