Selecting new entry causes editing panel to become corrupted and not accept input

[dvbowen]

MacOS 10.12.6
java version "1.8.0_151"
Version: JabRef-4.1-dev--snapshot--2017-12-08--master--6f39151a7.jar
Invoked with "java -jar" on a command line

I moved to using the latest version of JabRef a couple of days ago (as above), and
have a new bug. JabRef works well for while, but at a certain point, trying
to add a new entry causes the field area to hang and become
non-responsive. (Figure hopefully included.)

The following error is generated:

The previous versions I was using,

JabRef-4.1-dev--snapshot--2017-11-13--master--c1d425a31.jar and

JabRef-4.1-dev--snapshot--2017-10-29--autofilelink--19481127d.jar

didn't have this problem.

Clicking the check mark top-left of the panel closes and opens the panel correctly, but doesn't restore it to a working state. The following info is generated:

Have the same issue. Looks to be an overflow bug.

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: [-2147483648, 16)

Are older snapshot builds available anywhere?

[Siedlerchr]

@algoterranean
Could you please test the latest master from git? Unfortunately our build pipeline is broken atm due to a certificate issue, therefore the newer builds are not avaiable as binary.
Just do a git clone and aftwerwards a ./gradlew run to build and execute the version.
(You need to install a jdk8)

I am still getting an error with a clone of master (commit 15787da3c0):

[Siedlerchr]

Okay. This error indicates a threading issue between the swing and javafx stuff.
Can you please tell exactly what you did? (E.g. using a context menu or menu point)
Do you have any custom types etc?
Are you on Windows/LInux/Mac?

[algoterranean]

I am on OSX 10.12.5, JDK 8u152.

I think I narrowed it down slightly. To replicate:

Start JabRef.
File -> New BibTex Library.
Add a new BibTex entry (using the toolbar icon)

Select Article button.
Select "{} BibTeX source" tab.
Enter/paste in bibtex entry.
Go to General tab.

Add new BibTex entry, using the toolbar again, select Article, and this is where the error occurs.

This error does not occur if I go, for example, to Required Fields tab after the BibTex entry. I haven't tested out all of the tabs yet, but so far it only occurs if I go to the General tab.

Hope that makes sense.

[Siedlerchr]

Thanks for the detailed steps,
I could reproduce this on Windows, too and I tried to track it down, but with no success atm. There must be sth wrong with the interplay of swing/javafx in the entryeditor:
The main action happens inside the method in EntryEditor.java
public void setEntry(BibEntry entry) {
There must be sth wrong with the Threads. I also tried wrapping another few things in the FX Thread, but with no sucess. Error persists

Btw, you can directly paste (and copy also) your bibtex code on the main table, it will then automatically create an entry.

[tobiasdiez]

I investigated this problem a bit and found out the following:

• It only happens for the "General" tab
• You don't need to create new entries. The error also happens in the following scenario: edit source of one entry, switch to "General" tab, close entry editor, open entry editor again
• It is important that you close and reopen the entry editor. If you switch to a different entry for example, everything works just find.

Strange bug. I'll wait until #3427 is merged and then have another look on how to fix it.

Thanks for the update.
