Using JabRef 5.* dev (29th January 2020).

I intensivly use the "comments" field to add my own notes to the entries. So there is often a lot of text and lines in it.

While typing it often happens that the cursor jumps back to the first line and first column.

On Windows 10 I cannot reproduce the error. Could you also please try the latest snapshot and report your OS?

I am confused.
Somebody asked me (on a GitHub issue) to record a video about this behavior.
I did and uploaded it here/somehwere (?).

Maybe it was a forked repo?

I got it. I was totally stumped about reading to much Issues the same time. ;)
I posted the video on the wrong Issue.

5904 - entry window - cursor jump.zip

The zip file contains an avi-file (recorded with MS PowerPoint 2016 and converted with Avidemux) and the bib-file generated while the recording. The video is recorded on Windows 10. But I can also reproduce the behaviour with Debian 10.

What you can see in the video: The first jumps of the cursors looks like that they are somehow connected to my Strg+S pressing. But later the jumps ocure also without saving. There is also a nice Exception.
btw: I totally ignore exceptions in the current state of JabRef because they appear so often in so many cases.

Correct. The video was not an answer to #5079 . Because of that I removed the video and my comment from there.

I am not sure how this confusion could happened. ;)

The video is for this (#5904) Issue to demonstrate the problem.

I can reproduce this issue if one places a whitespace at the end of the comment and saves the library with ctrl+s

Edit: This actually happens with every field

I have the same issue on Windows 10 (10.0 amd64) with JabRef 5.0--2020-03-06--2e6f433 and Java 13.0.2.

On my system, the following approach reproduces the issue:

  1. Create new entry
  2. Go to 'Comments' field
  3. Press Enter once
  4. Keep pressing any key, e.g. a

After about 400 keystrokes (the number varies) the cursor jumps to the beginning of the comments field.

If I press Spacebar instead of Enter in Step 3, I get an uncaught exception, again after about 400 keystrokes:

There have been multiple reports on the errors. They have more or less the same underlying reason (gui access from other thread). Comes from saving/backup manager.

I disabled autoconpletion for multiline fields as it appeared to be the reason for the error and the threading error is fixed as well.

The issue seems to involve the following:

  1. edit a field, add some new and empty paragraphs at the end of the text
  2. save, switch to another application, wait for a bit
    when I return to JabRef, the empty paragraphs at the end are removed and the cursor is back to the beginning of the field's text.

Does this happen in normal text fields (e.g. authors/title/journal)
Does this happe in multiline fields?
Does this happen in the bibtex entry editor?

I can reproduce this here on mac with latest dev if I have spaces before the first character:
Autosave + Reformat on change are disabled and no save actions are configured.
Wait like 10-20 seconds or so until the automatic backup kicks in.
=> The spaces before the first char are removed, and the cursor jumps to the beginning

e.g. something like

For the record: Implemented on January 17, 2020 at #5838 and noticed a few days later. Kudos to @buhtz. The team just did not correlate.

The little pre-save processing (newlines, trim values) is now implemented as a mandatory save action.

(And I am working on a fix)
