Description

@RippleTester

JabRef version

Other (please describe below)
6.0-alpha.403

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

ubuntu:22.04

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Launch JabRef.
  2. Create a new library and add an entry; open the entry editor.
  3. Open the Source tab and make the Bib(La)TeX invalid (e.g., delete the final closing brace }).
  4. Switch to another tab to trigger the error handling dialog.
  5. Click the dialog’s OK button to close it.

Expected Behavior

  • Clicking OK should close the modal dialog and return control to the entry editor so the user can continue editing or fixing the source.

Actual Behavior

  • The “SourceTab error” dialog is immediately shown after clicking OK.
  • The dialog continues to block the entry editor view, preventing interaction.
