Group panel opens always in edit mode. How to change that?

I took me a while to see that the group panels opens always (at least here) in edit mode: edit group membership. This has been the reason for much confusion. I can remove the checkmark on that entry but I would like to open the group panel without that checkmark. I looked through configuration options but I didnot find any entry which changed this behaviour. Therefore, I ask here.

I think your issue is a duplicate of https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/1550.

yes it is, even if the version has changed in between.
