JabRef version

5.3 (latest release)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise

Checked with the latest development build

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Create a bib file with the single entry listed below.
  2. Edit any field (e.g. add NY to the location field).
  3. Click the save library button or menu item.
  4. Get the unhandled exception listed in the log file.

@reference{Broecker1984,
title = {International Center of Photography},
subtitle = {Encyclopedia of Photography},
editor = {Broecker, William L.},
date = {1984},
eprint = {305515791},
eprinttype = {scribd},
isbn = {0-517-55271-X},
keywords = {g:photography, p:positive, c:silver, m:albumen, c:pigment, m:carbon, g:reference, c:encyclopedia},
location = {New York},
pagetotal = {678},
publisher = {Crown},
}

NOTE: Changing the entry type to @book resolves the issue and the bib entry can be edited and the library saved without problems.
