New release seems to break paste into source field on mac

Help
1

After upgrading to 5.1 on a mac running Catalina, I can no longer paste into the “biblatex source” field.

There is a similar issue in the bug tracker: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/6843
And there is a (temporary) solution to circumvent it.
I hope this help.

Thanks for the reply. I did install 5.2, but it doesn’t seem to help, unfortunately.

@Jonathan_Lilly I am a mac user myself and the latest 5.2 fixed it for me.
How do you paste? Using the shortcout cmd+v ?

Ok, I see. I can now paste over the whole entry if it is selected. So, that is a good enough workaround. However, I can’t place the cursor in the bibtex source window and paste in a particular location as I used to, nor select all text in the bibtex source and paste over it. And I’ve tried with both drop-down menu or command-V.

@Jonathan_Lilly I’m on Catalina 10.15.6 and using the latest JabRef version from https://builds.jabref.org/master/
For me pasting in the bibtex source code works fine, also placing the cursor at some point and pasting in between works.

Edit// I used cmd+c and cmd+v to copy/paste
