Shared database: library modification warning without apparent modification #8586

@m-mauersberger

Description

@m-mauersberger

JabRef version

5.5 (latest release)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

10

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. Log in to shared database (PostgreSQL). Set tick at "automatically save library" and choose a Bibtex file.
  2. Add an entry somewhere or modify something.
  3. A warning appears instantly that modifications by another program has been detected but there was no other program.

This warning appears at every action you take. Dismissing changes have no lasting effect. Reviewing changes exhibits that a comma was removed somewhere, e.g. at the end of the keywords list.

Maybe it would be more convenient to make little changes silently. It is somehow confusing to read that another program was involved.

Thank you for your help!
