Jabref: Entry editor does not open

Created on 8 May 2017 · 5Comments · Source: JabRef/jabref

JabRef version:
JabRef 4.0.0-dev--snapshot--2017-05-07--master--4832e5d86
Windows 7 6.1 amd64
Java 1.8.0_92
The problem persists when I reset all options to their default values.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the below BibLaTeX file (or, apparently, any other).
Double click on any of the three entries, press ENTER with one selected, or click on the "Edit entry" button.
Problem: the entry editor does not open (meaning that I have no way to make any changes to entries).

Comment:
I had this problem before in version 2.10 or so. Then it seemed to be related to the particular option settings that I used. But now the problem does not go away even when I reset all options.
N.B. This problem does not yet appear in
JabRef 3.8.2
windows 7 6.1 amd64
Java 1.8.0_92

I can also confirm this, although I get a slightly different stack trace:

This should be fixed in the latest development version. Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks!

Hello, I am experiencing this issue on Jabref 4.3.1 on windows 10 v1809. Same issue: push the edit entry button, the preview window at the bottom disappear and nothing else happens.
