Description

@evanhorn

JabRef version

5.9 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME Shell 3.36.9

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. Select an entry associated with a file
  2. Right click on entry and select Open folder from context menu (or ctrl-shift-O)

Instead of a file browser, the attached file is opened as though Open file was selected.

Note that this behavior also occurs when using the "File" field in the "General" tab.
