Description

JabRef version

5.12 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

No response

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I am on JabRef 5.12--2023-12-24--4233bad
Linux 6.6.10-200.fc39.x86_64 amd64
Java 21.0.1
JavaFX 21.0.1+6

  1. type some notes in a field in the entry editor, and then press ESC.
  2. The information in the field disappears
  3. cannot be brought back with CTRL+Z

That is sad because the user, at least I, might accidentally press ESC.

I consider this a bug because I think this is not intended. But am happy to revise thi as a feature request if you think so.
