Jabref: Strings in edit fields not updating to match the source fields

[wujastyk]

JabRef version
JabRef 4.0.0-dev--snapshot--2017-05-31--master--c9566c2a9
Linux 4.10.0-21-generic amd64
Java 1.8.0_131

Steps to reproduce:

1. I edit a field, e.g., shorthand (which I've added to the "Required Fields" tab)
2. I go to the "{} biblatex source" tab and edit the shorthand field
3. Returning to the "Required Fields" tab, the shorthand field is not updated.

When you change to another entry and then change back, the update is applied and the field content is visible

I think to solve this, wee need a Binding between codeArea.textProperty() and entry.toString() or a field which represents the whole BibEntry as String.

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

[wujastyk]

My brief tests are successful. Thanks for fixing #2888!

Sorry, this story isn't over after all.

Edits to "biblatex source" are now correctly displayed in "required fields". But not vice-versa. Edits to "required fields" are not updated in "biblatex source."

@wujastyk We've attempted another fix and source field should now also be updated. Could you please try out the newest development snapshot and report back if it works?

[wujastyk]

Seems good, after simple tests. Thank you!!!

Sorry to say, but further work today shows that this problem persists.

I've been working with this record:

@article{10.2307/40849180,
ISSN = {09353518, 21968071},
URL = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/40849180},
author = {Gerd Carling},
journal = {Historische Sprachforschung / Historical Linguistics},
number = {1},
pages = {75-95},
publisher = {Vandenhoeck \& Ruprecht (GmbH \& Co. KG)},
title = {New look at the Tocharian B medical manuscript IOL Toch 306 (Stein Ch.00316. a2) of the British Library - Oriental and India Office Collections},
volume = {116},
date = {2003}
}

In the "Required fields" tab I change the title to

New Look at the {Tocharian B} Medical Manuscript {IOL Toch 306 (Stein Ch.00316. a2)} of the {British Library} - {Oriental and India Office} Collections

and that change isn't saved or reflected in "biblatex source".

@wujastyk That's interesting, because the dev-snapshot you reported (7d31fa28c) is the one directly before my fix with regards to the source panel was merged. In that the version, the bug actually shouldn't have been fixed (yet). Could you try again with a new version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ ?

[wujastyk]

Oh! I bungled my versions somehow. I thought I had everything straight,
but no. I've reinstalled the latest build and everything is fine.

My mistake, and many apologies for a false alarm!
