When saving: The library has been modified by another program - triggered by adding and removing new group #9064

Description

@ThiloteE

JabRef 5.6--2022-01-25--2c92eb0
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 16.0.2
JavaFX 17.0.1+1

JabRef and the library are both on a local system WITHOUT dropbox or other sync or backup software interfering.

I was able to reliably trigger the behaviour like this:

  1. Create new group
  2. Immediately remove the new group that was just created. Choose also remove subgroups.
  3. Click on save.

Result: There is a popup "The library has been modified by another program."

Most importantly, after the bug triggers once, it does not go away until Jabref was having a restart. So afterwards, every click on save will trigger the popup again, regardless of having deleted a group prior to that or not...

Expected result: No popup.

Edit: Not sure if it actually is the same issue as the original post. This is how the modified dialogue looks like:
