Help

Hi, happy New Year to everybody!

I have a new problem using the latest development version of JabRef on a Windows 10 system. Since yesterday, I can’t open the preferences anymore. Nothing happens after clicking on the menu entry. Any ideas what might be the reason?

Best regards from Berlin, Bernd

Hi,

I just cleared the event log prior to clicking on the Options / Preferences. This gave a new entry in the event log:

Uncaught exception occurred in Thread[JavaFX Application Thread,5,main]
