JabRef-3.3.jar, but also JabRef-3.4dev--snapshot--2016-04-21--master--3f160e8.jar
Linux Mint LMDE

A Chinese first name can be written as Tse-tung . Note: this is a single first name, and there is no capital to "tung" (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong)

In BibTeX format, the first name should be coded as {Tse-tung} , so as not to be confused with a composite first name (like Jan-Heinrich).

Hence, the field

author = {{Tse-tung} Mao},

should be displayed as

Mao

in the entry table.

Currently, this is displayed as

tung Mao

This fails because there is no capital letter to tung ("Mao" is displayed for "{Tse-Tung} Mao", although this does not follow the proper casing).
"{Tse-{t}ung} Mao" fails too.

Note: "Mao, {Tse-tung}" works. So there is a work-around, but this is just a work-around...

@book{Failing,
author = {{Tse-tung} Mao},
title = {Little Red Book},
year = {1937}
}
