Hello people! Since my last update or so, when I open JabRef the groups panel seems to have half the screen as width. When I resize it to a more comfortable width and restart JabRef, it does not save that new width. That didn’t use to be the case, as far as I can recall.

This is annoying, since the most important stuff is on the entry list panel. Bellow is the version/system I’m using. Any suggestions? Thank you!

JabRef 5.15–2024-07-10–1eb3493  
Linux 6.8.0-40-generic amd64  
Java 21.0.2  
JavaFX 22.0.1+7

Same for me. It’s under investigation here: [JabRef does not save/restore window split setting · Issue #11554 · JabRef/jabref · GitHub](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11554) and here: [UI: web search/Groups width not remembered · Issue #8907 · JabRef/jabref · GitHub](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/8907)
