Hello. I selected some fields (journal, title, authors, doi, pages, volume, year) as the main ones to be added to an article entry. When I create a new one (or modifying an existed one), the fields are too big, occupying all the space and I always have to scroll down to reach the other fields. Thi…

Sorry for the late response. Could you please add a screenshot?

There seems to be a discussion about a similar topic going on over there: Line wrap in entry table. Maybe line wrapping could be of help here? Otherwise CSS or changing some Javafx code.
