JabRef version

5.6 (latest release)

Operating system

macOS

Details on version and operating system

macOS 12.3.1

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 an empty group
  2. Rename the group (Right-click > Edit > provide different name > OK)
  3. Save
  4. Revert change in bib file outside Jabref (manually or I used svn revert library.bib)
  5. A bar appears after a few seconds indicating the library was changed by another program. Select Review changes
  6. Press either button Mark all changes as accepted OR Unmark all changes
  7. Error (because metadata changes don't have radio buttons in their change view, unlike entry changes)

Additional notes:

  • The error also occurs on groups with entries.
  • The list of changes on the left is very narrow.

Edit:

The change below seems to resolve the error. However, the merging of the change does not update the group name in the group list. Not sure if the database is not getting updated or if the list display needs to be refreshed.
