Details on version and operating system

JabRef 6.0-tags-v6-0-alpha.1--2024-12-23--72dd70e Windows 10 10.0 amd64 Java 23.0.1 JavaFX 23.0.1+4

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

  1. Make a new citation entry
  2. Fill a field with so many letters that the text box is not big enough for it (example can include a really long name)
  3. Use arrow keys to move all the way to the last character

Appendix

Expected behaviour:
It should be possible to always completely see the last character, but there is a fade out thing happening.
I wrote "my word is ci" at the end because this is especially difficult with narrow letters like 'i'.
See screenshot:

The 'i' is not a good example here but highlighted it is hard to see:

Additionally, you can not see the blinking cursor that shows where you are in the text if you go all the way to the end.

Feels like a solution could be to give the text area a little more space inside the box.

Note: I did not make a backup of my libraries before testing with the latest development version nor did I test the problem on the latest development version because I don't have that version. Note I am willing to help describing the bug but I'm just a student keeping my citations in order, I'm not a jabref developer, so I am not going to build a local version of the newest edition of jabref on my laptop. Thank you.
