Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. type a character into the entry editor
2. an error window pops up. Actually two, I believe.

Coincidentally, the screenshot below also shows the "the library hs been modified by another program" error message.

This is a duplicate of the search error issue with the highlight function

[Siedlerchr]

I see that the snap no longer builds, Will try to configure the snap for java 11

[Siedlerchr]

@wujastyk Could you please test if this error is still occurring in the newest snap?

[wujastyk]

"modified" is still an issue with today's snap .

I had reception popups too, but was working to fast to read them.

It seems like it's not actually modified by another program. I only get this warning if I save again while it's still saving... I also cannot reproduce any popups in this scenario.

[AEgit]

JabRef 5.0-dev Linux 5.0.0-29-generic amd64 Java 11.0.4

Cannot confirm the popup error message.

[wujastyk]

Yes, I got the error today,

JabRef 5.0-dev Linux 5.0.0-29-generic amd64 Java 11.0.4

Using today's snap, 21 Sept.

[AEgit]

@wujastyk Are you talking about the "Uncaught exception error" reported in the original post (https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5296#issue-491290093) or just the "The library has been modified by another program" message (I only see the latter in the screenshot you posted)?

[wujastyk]

"library has been modified". I see, you're talking about the error popup.

Apologies; I should have kept one issue to one report.

[AEgit]

Ok, in that case I would probably suggest to close this issue, because the main problem appears to be fixed. The "library has been modified" message, on the other hand, has already been reported in various other bug tickets, e.g.:

https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5257 https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5085 https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/4877 https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/4810 (also present in older versions: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/4143)

I reckon these issues have a common cause.

[tobiasdiez]

This should be fixed in the latest development version. Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks! Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.

So far so good! Thank you!

I would like to return to this issue. With every single edit that I make to an entry, I get this popup screen multiple times. I've kind of learned to live with it, hitting "dismiss" all the time, but it needs to be sorted out definitively.

[koppor]

@wujastyk do we have a copy of the library? It has surely something to do with library properties such as save actions.

[koppor]

I also would like to see what differences are shown.

[wujastyk]

The library is rather big, 4.3 MB. Here's a link.

The differences are often nothing at all. But I'll start collecting.

[wujastyk]

I turned off "autosave local libraries" and I haven't seen the problem since. Still watching.

1. I constructed a library using tools/new sub based on latex aux. It was called "untitled".
2. I saved it and named it.
3. Got the screen below.
