I attempted a binary rebuild of 2.10+ds using the libraries found in sid and it didn't change the behavior. It appears that it might be an issue with the version of jgoodies-looks (2.7.0) available in Debian. I will dig into this more, since it could be affecting other users of jgoodies-looks similarly, but at the moment, I'm trying to get an updated JabRef version into the archive before stretch freezes. Currently we're working on JabRef 3.6, but due to some excellent assistance from upstream (thanks Oliver!), it could also be 3.7. Cheers, tony
