[Jabref-users] JabRef 3.6 hangs when creating bibtex keys

[Peter R. <p.r...@sh...>]

Hi

Running v3.6 on Linux Mint Rosa and openjdk 1.8

I am having problems wit the whole shebang hanging when I try to create 
a bibtex key using the little 'key' button in the entry editor. The 
status bar message reports "Status: Empty BibTeX key. Grouping may not 
work with this entry" and the system monitor reports that the process is 
sleeping (infinitely!) on futex_wait_queue_me...  I have to kill the 
whole process and restart because the whole of JabRef locks up.

Has anybody else observed this issue? Is it related to the openjdk JVM? 
Does anybody see this with the Oracle JVM?

Peter
