Created on 21 Jul 2016  路  3Comments  路  Source: JabRef/jabref

JabRef version JabRef build from master 21.07.2016 on Ubuntu 14.04 and on Windows 8

Steps to reproduce:

When I...

  1. Have two databases opened
  2. I open the groups panel in the first one
  3. I switch to the second db and open the groups panel too
  4. I switch back to the first one (groups panel is still opened)
  5. I switch to the second db
    ...then the groups panel closes without being manually closed by me.
