Thanks for this John.

I can confirm that with today's release of 'org-mode plus contribs' the
desired over effect has returned, but with a caveat - its showing the
wrong bibliographic entry! I have this in my config file -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'org-ref)
(setq reftex-default-bibliography '("~/research/death/death.bib"))

;; see org-ref for use of these variables
(setq org-ref-bibliography-notes "~/research/notes.org"
      org-ref-default-bibliography '("~/research/death/death.bib")
      org-ref-pdf-directory "~/research/death/pdfs")

(setq bibtex-completion-bibliography "~/research/death/death.bib"
      bibtex-completion-library-path "~/research/death/pdfs"
      bibtex-completion-notes-path "~/research/death/helm-bibtex-notes")
#+end_src
[2016-09-20 Tue 04:15]
[2017-01-17 Tue 11:34]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Going back to '(cite:0072)' the mouse-over now shows 'NHS, , /Ovarian
cancer/ (2015).', which is the reference in 'death.bib'!

I'm using the exact same code-block as pre-the updated org-mode, and
I've restarted emacs, so I'm not sure what ought to be changed, if
anything, but I'm unhappy with what its now showing as its not correct.

Do I need to revamp my code-block, and if so, how please?

Thanks
Sharon.
