Can confirm, I also had this problem often. Annoying a little bit.

Hmm, but I don't have it now.

~Trying to reduce the problem and find the exact conditions where it occurs~

UPDATE: Seems like a heizenbug, I've tried to start/shutdown JabRef many times and on some of them I had this issue. But I really remember, that some time ago I had this issue very often

Even though it is a duplicate, let's collect OS information here.

@AdamWysokinski and @InAnYan which OS did you try? A concrete release is good. Which Window Manager? We can then try to setup a VM (https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/tree/main/scripts/vms) - or even a contributor can help to craft a Vagrant file 💪. - None of us are experts in Vagrant, but it seems to be the best solution to make reproducible VMs.

The issue is resolved in the recent 5.16 JDK-EA builds (https://builds.jabref.org/jdk-ea/).

The issue is resolved in the recent 5.16 JDK-EA builds (https://builds.jabref.org/jdk-ea/).

Confirmed on my machine. If it matters, the panel still shows wider than normal during startup, then jumps to the proper position by the time JabRef is done loading.

We merged javafx 13 so it should be available in the normal developer builds as well``
