JabRef 5.1--2020-06-13--0432100
Linux 5.6.18-300.fc32.x86_64 amd64
Java 14.0.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. edit an entry in the source field within the entry editor
2. press ctrl+s
3. close file
4. open file

Effect: the final change was not saved.
it gets saved when the user shifts to another field of the entry editor and then presses ctrl+2.

Has anyone picked this issue up? If not I'd like to give it a try.

@DaniloMurer You can take a look at it. But be warned that the source code editor tab is a complex issue and modications can produce nasty side effects. The code is in gui/entryeditor/SourceTab,java.
I guess it's related to the focusedPropertyListener which store the source when the focus is changed

[DaniloMurer]

Ok thanks for the advice and the warning. I'm going to try my best maybe I can find a solution to this.

Ok thank you very much. I got it how to make the branch so that's not a problem anymore.

Is this still a problem?

Will take some days until I can check. Thanks for asking!

Hello, yes the issue does still persist and I'm not sure if I've got enough free time to fix this issue.

This issue should now be resolved in latest master.

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/master and report back if it works for you. Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.

Hi, in this version, when I edit the bib code directly, it takes some seconds until the * appears next the the library's name, indicating the unsaved change of the file.

But saving now works- thanks!
