JabRef version
Other (please describe below)
Reproducible after merging #14701 , namely Commit: ce5c95b
Operating system
GNU / Linux
Details on version and operating system
ubuntu:22.04
Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
- Launch JabRef.
- Create a new empty library.
- Go to Library → Add entry using… (opens the “New Entry” dialog).
Expected behavior
The “New Entry” dialog should open with the same default size/geometry as before.
No major or unexpected shrink should occur that leaves large unused space.
Actual behavior
After the change, the “New Entry” dialog opens substantially narrower than before.
A large blank area of the main window remains visible on the right.
Recommended-type buttons reflow due to the reduced width (e.g., “Misc” shifts position).
Note
After clicking “Other types”, the increased number of options causes the layout to become crowded.
This is introduced by #14701
