Import window freezes JabRef (Mac OS) #4296

@Dana-L

Description

@Dana-L

JabRef version 4.3.1

on Mac OS X 10.13.6 x86_64

Java 1.8.0_181

Steps to reproduce:

  1. File --> "Import into current library" (command key + I)
  2. Select a .bib file
  3. "Open"
  4. JabRef freezes. The import window never closes, and I have to "Force Quit".
Details

I have the same problem as in #3997, titled "Import window freezes jabref".

I haven't used JabRef for a while, and previously, this option worked fine. So I guess it is related to a recent version update.

The reply to #3997 was:
"This is a linux problem with the Look and Feel. Try switching to another Look and Feel in the Options."
I am not a programmer and I do not understand the solution suggested in your reply to #3997, for the linux system. Besides, I don't know if this is a valid solution for Mac OS, too. Can you please suggest a solution for Mac OS users who are not linux experts ?

I cannot provide a log file because JabRef freezes and must be killed by "Force Quit".
