Should be fixed in the latest master:

@Siedlerchr just tested with the JabRef 5.0-dev--snapshot--2019-03-16--master--d7dd41b00, not yet changed

[bernhard-kleine]

@Siedlerchr: with the snapshot of 2019-03-18 is still not fully shown. Should be reopened.

[Siedlerchr]

This is odd, as you can see in my screenshot from a Windows 10 system it works fine.

[AEgit]

I cannot confirm this bug for:

JabRef 5.0-dev--snapshot--2019-03-18--master--52696f04b
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 1.8.0_201

So this might be a Windows 7 problem?
But while checking for this bug, I found another one, which I will report elsewhere (#4783).

I have the textsize in the Windows adaption set to 125%, but when I set it to 100% the text is still cut in half.
Setting the textsize in Jabref smaller has not equally any effect.

@bernhard-kleine
Just a wild guess: If it is not a Windows 7 problem (we would need another Windows 7 user to confirm this), it might be related to display size and/or resolution. Currently I am using a 24 inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080. What about your display setup?

[bernhard-kleine]

I have a 1920x1200 screen (samsung T240HD) and a AMD radeon card

[AEgit]

Hmmm ok, then it is probably not a display issue (I thought you might have a very small monitor, but that is obviously not the case).
So maybe it is Windows 7 then, that causes the issue? Let's see if we can find another user with Windows 7 and JabRef installed.

Hi, with font size 10, adjusted in Jabref option, the text is fully shown. But with font size 13 it is not!!!! A problem of Jabref obviously!

[AEgit]

Ahhh, there we go - I only used the default font size. Yes, if I change the default font size to 13, I get the same issue.

It's a bug in the library we use for the color picker. I reported it at sshahine/JFoenix#957. Since there is nothing we can do but just wait until it is fixed on their side, I'll close this issue.
