Jabref just stops

Just in case, I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem: selecting a group does not refresh the list of items - I have to select back "all entries", and then select a group to display the members of these group.

The issue is that Oracle says following (see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/awt006.html): "Most of the AWT crashes occur on the Windows platform and are caused by thread races." Fortunately, they also say "Many of these problems were fixed in Java SE 6,". However, they also point to "frame.setVisible(true)". Maybe, we have to check our code for that in certain conditions...

@Robert: Could you please post some information about your machine? CPU, RAM? Although I think you have a "normal" machine, this could be an indication...

Thank you! Could you try to change your Look'n'Feel? Options -> Preferences -> Advanced -> "Look and Feel" -> Choose "com.jgoodies.looks.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel". Maybe it helps.

Press Windows+R. Type in "cmd". Hint Enter. At that command promt, type in cd "\program files\jabref. Hinter Enter. Type in java -jar JabRef-3.0.jar and press Enter. Then, JabRef should start. As soon as it stops, you should see some error output -- hopefully.

I am back with my problem... I switch from pdf files and Jabref to read/make my bibliography. Quite often, switching back to Jabref will close it. I am not a computer expert: do you mean I should type "java -jar JabRef*.jar" in the command window ?

UTF8 import from bib file

Fred O — Fri, 27 Nov 2015 16:11:57 -0000

Hi,

I have a utf8 bib file with accents on some letters (French é). JabRef is configurated for utf8.

When I import such a file é characters end up into Ã©
I am pretty sure my file isin utf8 since it is created with texstudio who supposedly works in utf8...

Any idea of what is going wrong?

Best
-Fred
