We are currently working on getting JabRef 3.6 packaged debian. The current issue is that “Lookup DOI” doesn’t seem to work well.

The profiler shows a large amount of javax.swing.text.GapContent$UndoPosRef objects. More then 3,000,000 objects.

Can anyone report back whether JabRef 3.6 works on his debian system?

The test steps are:

1. Download [https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/master/src/test/resources/testbib/complex.bib](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/master/src/test/resources/testbib/complex.bib)
2. Start JabRef
3. Open complex.bib
4. Double click second entry (“DeWitt and Kuljis”) -\> entry editor opens
5. Click on “General”
6. Delete content of field “DOI”
7. Click on “Lookup DOI”
8. The DOI field should now contain “10.1145/1143120.1143122”
9. Click on “Get BibTeX data from DOI”
10. The dialog “Merge entry with DOI information” opens
11. Press “Cancel”
12. Close JabRef

Under Linux Mint LMDE (so Debia-based)  
with java version “1.8.0\_66” Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0\_66-b17)

At step 7, JabRef 3.6 becomes unresponsive, using one core at 100%. No message in the console.

Note : All the steps work with JabRef 3.7
