Performance issue in Jabref5.1 using "search" function to find specific records
JabRef version
JabRef-5.1.msi
I just installed the new Jabref5.1 to see how it works with my literature.bib database that is about 29,900 Kb in size. The database loads and shows pretty fast, a major improvement on some earlier 5.1 development versions :-) However, when I try search on authors, the program seems to enter in a "never-ending loop" and becomes non-responsive whilst at the same consuming 95-97% of my CPU. I experienced the same problem in earlier 5.1 development versions. So I reversed to using "JabRef 5.0-beta.10--2019-12-16--aa6cbb7". In this development version, a search on author(s) is also slow, but the program does not become unresponsive. Am using Windows10 Pro 64 bit on a Lenovo P700 with Intel Xeon E5-2603 @ 1.6 Ghz and 16 Gb RAM.
I am not a computer programmer and am not sure this is the feedback you need. If you need more technical details from me then please instruct me what I need to do to share these back to you. Ed
Same here: my 5.1 version gets unresponsive (or very slow) during searches.

On my Windows machine I have the same problem. The current JabRef version becomes almost unusable there. After hitting a search term CPU usage goes up to 90% and never drops again. Jabref5.1 2020-08-30 Windows 10 amd64 Java 14.0.2
~~On my Ubuntu machine I do not experience any issues with the same version.~~
The problem persists in the current master. At the moment, I can't use either JabRef 5.1 oder 5.2 because of this problem. I have to kill (closing jabef is not enough - see picture) the program after each search on my ubuntu and my windows machine.
I did a quick test with the testjabref.bib - it causes the same problem - so its not related to my bib file
Strange, however, that it doesn't affect all users.
Try disabling Autocomplete in the Preferences, many user reported that this helped
Wow. That helped immediately! Thank you @Siedlerchr. I hope, auto completion is disabled by default.

Solved for me too, big save
Can we have a quick check if the issue is still relevant with today's build available at https://builds.jabref.org/main/?

I'm currently on 5.15 Portable. There I'm not having this issue.
