Screenshoot with the symbols that appear, and how it's seen in the
bibliographic index.

Problem description: 
When you create a new entry in the Bibliographic database, the fields that you
don't fill are autofilled with a buggy triangle symbol.

Then, if you add a bibliographic entry from the database to the document, and
you have an index, the symbols are shown.

Appears in both 3.5.5.3 and 3.5.5.2.

Steps to reproduce:
1. From Tools -> Bibliographic database, create a new bibliographic entry
filling only the Identifier and for example the Type.
2. Click on another entry or close the database navigator.

Current behavior:
The newly created one will be filled by symbols where there were no data.

Inserting into the document a reference to this new entry and updating a
default Bibliographic Index will make appear these symbols into the index.

It does not happen when adding a new bibliography entry internally to the
document and not to the database.

You can try to delete the "auto-filled" fields in the database, but it's
difficult, you have to do from the leftiest cell to rightest, otherwise it gets
filled another time.

Expected behavior:
Not to fill up the empty fields with symbols.
