File becomes unsaved after moving cursor to new window

JabRef version on

JabRef 5.1--2020-05-01--a123eb1
Linux 5.3.0-51-generic amd64
Java 14.0.1

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

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. make a change to a bib entry
2. press control+s to save the file
3. wait a second. A message "Saving library ..." pops up from the bottom of the screen
4. The asterisk disappears from the library tab.

so far, everything appears fine.

5. move the cursor to another window (TeXstudio).
6. the asterisk reappears on the library tab, and the file is no longer saved. Latest edits are not saved to disk.

Note: this behaviour doesn't happen when saving by means of clicking the save icon. That works fine. It's only when using control+s.

This issue has been inactive for half a year. Since JabRef is constantly evolving this issue may not be relevant any longer and it will be closed in two weeks if no further activity occurs.

As part of an effort to ensure that the JabRef team is focusing on important and valid issues, we would like to ask if you could update the issue if it still persists. This could be in the following form:

• If there has been a longer discussion, add a short summary of the most important points as a new comment (if not yet existing).
• Provide further steps or information on how to reproduce this issue.
• Upvote the initial post if you like to see it implemented soon. Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however, they do factor into our decision-making process.
• If all information is provided and still up-to-date, then just add a short comment that the issue is still relevant.

Thank you for your contribution!

Seems to be fine now. I can't get that same behaviour in a few tests.
Thanks!
