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 .bib file:

    @MastersThesis{,
      file     = {:paper.pdf:PDF},
      groups   = {groupOne},
      keywords = {def},
    }
   
    @InBook{,
      author   = {Author Test},
      comment  = {comment by oliver},
      groups   = {groupTwo},
      keywords = {abc},
    }
   
    @Book{Maindonald2010,
      author    = {Maindonald, J. H.},
      date      = {2010},
      title     = {Data analysis and graphics using R},
      isbn      = {9780521762939},
      publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
      subtitle  = {an example-based approach},
    }
   
    @Comment{jabref-meta: databaseType:biblatex;}
   
    @Comment{jabref-meta: fileDirectory-koppor-DESKTOP-KAK953S:c:\\temp;}

2. Open test.bib in JabRef

3. Double click on "InBook" to have the entry editor opened

4. Change the bib file to in a text editor

    @MastersThesis{,
      file     = {:paper.pdf:PDF},
      groups   = {groupOne},
      keywords = {def},
    }
   
    @InBook{,
      author   = {Author Test and others},
      comment  = {comment by oliver},
      groups   = {groupTwo},
      keywords = {abc},
    }
   
    @Book{Maindonald2010,
      author    = {Maindonald, J. H.},
      date      = {2010},
      title     = {Data analysis and graphics using R},
      isbn      = {9780521762939},
      publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
      subtitle  = {an example-based approach},
    }
   
    @Comment{jabref-meta: databaseType:biblatex;}
   
    @Comment{jabref-meta: fileDirectory-koppor-DESKTOP-KAK953S:c:\\temp;}

5. Save

6. JabRef says "The library has been modified by another program"

7. Click "Review changes"

8. Select "Author Test and others"

9. Select "Accept changes"

10. Expected: Entry editor updates

Actual behavior: Entry editor does not update. After save, the external changes on the entry are lost
