Devcall: We are wondering, if this is really a dark mode issue, since there were no traces of this in the StackTrace. Maybe a threading issue? We are looking into it.

I have reproduced this bug and I think it is not related to dark mode. I'm interested in this bug.

[Siedlerchr]

Thanks to @Fifi-wang the issue is now resolved.

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/main and report back if it works for you. Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.
