Mac OS X: Pasting bibtex entry creates duplicate entries

[angoodkind]

JabRef version: 5.0-dev

• I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

When copying and pasting a bibtex entry into jabref, it creates duplicate entries for the citation. This occurs regardless of if I have All Entries open, or am just viewing a group or subgroup.

I tried copy pasting a BibTex entry into JabRef but it did not create duplicates, am I missing something?

[angoodkind]

Nope, that's exactly what I did too.

[CaptainDaVinci]

I am not able to reproduce it, I am copying an entry and pasting it back in the same library.

[angoodkind]

I've been copying the entries from elsewhere, usually Google Scholar. It seems to happen when I've had the application open for a while and done multiple additions. It doesn't happen the first time.

[johannes-manner]

Can you provide a detailed description which steps are needed to reproduce this bug?

[angoodkind]

I'm not sure what other details I can provide. I copy the bibtex from google scholar in Chrome. I then paste it into the main window in jabref, and it creates two duplicate entries.

[AEgit]

Can you reproducibly generate this behaviour by copying certain entries and a certain number of (ordered?) entries from Google Scholar?
If so, can you please:

1. Provide links to the entries that cause the issue.
2. Provide the number of entries that is necessary to reproduce the issue.
3. Detail in which order you copied the entries from Google Scholar to JabRef.

[angoodkind]

This time it occurred when copying just the 2nd entry.

Using this query, I copied the first entry into jabref without issue. But copying the bibtex of the 2nd and 3rd entries created duplicates.

[matthiasgeiger]

Can you please tell us which OS you are using?
We had some reports of duplicated execution of some commands in Mac OS X...

[angoodkind]

I am also on OS X, v. 10.14.4

[matthiasgeiger]

Thank you for the feedback!

So it is most likely the same underlying problem as in #4845 and #4836

[Siedlerchr]

Thanks to @LinusDietz and @stefan-kolb this issue is now fixed in the latest master!

[LinusDietz]

This behavior is present again in current master build on MacOS.

[Siedlerchr]

I think this code was recently reversed in #6313 that could explain it

@Gena928 Cannot reproduce the issue. Maybe, it would help to have a screen recording of this issue?

Would it be possible to add a Loom video here? Maybe visualizing key strokes using KeyCastr also helps to understand what's going on?

Try of @Siedlerchr:

• master branch used
• setupKeyBindings in MainTable removed

Next step:

• Do this change in this PR.
• Test on Win, Mac, Linux
  1. key binding of copy change to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Q
  2. key binding of paste change to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+P
  3. try to paste in entry editor
  4. try to paste in main table
  • paste: bibtex entry: (@article{test2020, author={{JabRefTeam}}})
  • paste: test: "This is a text to paste."
