JabRef version
5.6 (latest release)
Operating system
GNU / Linux
Details on version and operating system
Linuxmint-20.1
Checked with the latest development build
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
When an entry has both DOI and URL, left-clicking and holding on the "link" icon in the entry list does not activate the drop-down menu. When the mouse button is released, the first Web link in the link list is activated immediately, and there is not way to select another link from the list that appears afterwards. This problem appeared in at least JabRef 5.5 and persist through the 5.7 into the latest commut (main branch, commit c38d18b "Fix notifications that overlap task bar (#8775)").
To reproduce:
- Start JabRef with the provided minimal library (from the provided
doi-and-url.zip):
~/install/jabref/JabRef-5.7/bin/JabRef ~/doi-and-url.bib &
- Left click the mouse on the "linked-chain" URL link icon. The drop-down list does not appear, contrary to what was expected:
- Release the left mouse button. The first link is opened on a browser, and only then the drop-down list appears (but no selection is possible).
