Adding two or more files cause JabRef to hang #4829

I frequently encounter following trouble adding pdfs via Drag-and-Drop into JabRef.

I can reproduce it with a freshly started JabRef:

  1. Drag 2 or more Pdfs into to window to add to library
  2. For first pdf dialogs are normal: select entry type, then select whether to move file
  3. For second pdf enty type can be selected - but the second dialog never shows up.
  4. JabRef does no longer react and needs to be force quitted.

Note in "longer" running JabRef instances sometimes I can add the second pdf successfully.

The same behavior also sometimes appears when I add the files one after the other. Though I can not reproduce it.

JabRef version 4.3.1 on Mac OS 10.14.3
