JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Ubuntu 22.04, Swaywm 17, JabRef 5.8--2022-08-15--f7648e8 via snap

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.Updated JR via snap CLI snap refresh
2. Open the JabRef GUI from CLI. Tried to 'parse metadata from pdf'.
3. Killed JabRef process because it froze.
4. Restart JabRef GUI from CLI.
I was greeted with a message that a backup was detected in the snap folder: /home/user/snap/jabref/1886/.local/share/JabRef/5.8--2022-08-15--f7648e8/backups/
I clicked 'restore from backup' without much thought.
My library database (in my home directory) was replaced with the empty 'backup' from the snap folder.

Appendix
