Description

@accon

JabRef 4.3.1
Windows 7 6.1 amd64
Java 1.8.0_191

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open JabRef
  2. New BibTexEntry
  3. Enter ISBN 978-3-9817048-9-1 to the ID-based entry generator and click "Generate".

I'm new to JabRef and don't know a lot about the background workings and setup. I have also found similar issues online and assume this problem has been solved, however I wasn't able to reproduce the solution on my machine, so it'd be great if someone could walk me through the necessary steps.
