5.0.dev: exception thrown during data entry

[rs-aesi]

First seen with the Abstract tab as the focus during data entry. When I move the internal window frame to expand the abstract text entry widget horizontally the attached exception message box pops up. It also displays when I am reformatting the abstract so each line fills the maximum space available to it.

It turns out that that exception message box pops up frequently when I'm entering data in other tabs/text entry widgets as well as in the Abstract

widget. Annoying.

Christoph, I'm running Slackware-14.2/x86_64 and the 2020-02-24 snapshot of JabRef-5.0. Could not highlight the text in the message box and paste it into a text file in a v.t. so I grabbed three screenshots (attached) as I scrolled the details from beginning to end. Could not expand the message box window, only move it, so I could not display the entire details at the same time. HTH, Rich

I hope these help.

This issue has been inactive for half a year. Since JabRef is constantly evolving this issue may not be relevant any longer and it will be closed in two weeks if no further activity occurs.

As part of an effort to ensure that the JabRef team is focusing on important and valid issues, we would like to ask if you could update the issue if it still persists. This could be in the following form:

• If there has been a longer discussion, add a short summary of the most important points as a new comment (if not yet existing).
• Provide further steps or information on how to reproduce this issue.
• Upvote the initial post if you like to see it implemented soon. Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however, they do factor into our decision-making process.
• If all information is provided and still up-to-date, then just add a short comment that the issue is still relevant.

Thank you for your contribution!
