I am sure now that this is indeed a problem. I suspect this issue was introduced after we made JabRef an FX application. Now, the initial confirmation dialog if I want to load a .sav bibliography does not show up any longer. The window is not hidden and JabRef goes in a waiting loop that I cannot leave.
I believe the issue here is that we still use Swing for the confirmation dialog in
org.jabref.gui.dialogs.BackupUIManager#showRestoreBackupDialog
and in some other places too.
How to reproduce:
- System Mac OS X 10.13.3 x86_64, Java 1.8.0_162, maintable-beta branch
- Leave JabRef dirty once so that you have a
.sav file for your opened bibliography
- Start JabRef either through the IDE, terminal or by double-clicking on the jar.
This issue does not appear on Linux. I have not tested Windows.
