JabRef 5.0-dev--snapshot--2019-04-20--master--e63bc21ab
Linux 4.15.0-47-generic amd64
Java 1.8.0_191
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Launch Jabref 5.0 dev from a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
# development snapshot
java -jar /home/dom/Dropbox/bin/JabRef--master--latest.jar
-
the program opens and fills the whole screen with no window bars. One can minimize the JabRef display but cannot change the size of the display.
-
Going to a terminal and typing the CLI command
java -jar /home/dom/Dropbox/bin/JabRef--master--latest.jar
the program starts with window borders, but with all options reverted to default (I think).
After this, the behaviour described in 2. doesn't happen for a couple of launches, and then it reverts to the borderless behaviour again.
- While there was a border and things seemed okay, I went to Options and got an uncaught exception error
