List not refreshing when creating an entry in a new library

[tim-kilian]

JabRef version 5.0-dev--snapshot--2019-03-20--master--6c61664a8 on Windows 10 10.0 amd64 Java 1.8.0_172

• I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

It seems that the lsit is empty when I try to create a new library. When I try to create a new entry with Ctrl+n it doesnt show up. Seems to be related to the non existing list at the beginning.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new library (bibtex/biblatex)
2. Create a new entry (Ctrl+n)

You are missing keys in the registry, have s look at the forum there was a similar problem and the solution is to manually create the missing registry keys

So this is not a bug, I am just missing something out, right? Can you link the topic in the forum for this?

No, this is a bug introduced recently.

@Siedlerchr this is a side effect of the @tobiasdiez fix regarding the not opening entry editor

Thanks to @matthiasgeiger this should be fixed in the latest master now.
