---------- Forwarded message ----------
I'm trying to help the developers by using the most recent snapshot in my
infrequent uses of JabRef. Unfortunately, it seems that I encounter blocks
to my use with each release.

The current installation was uploaded early this morning, 2020-05-19, and
that's what I installed. Note to devs: since untarring the downloaded
tarball does not _overwrite_ the existing JabRef/ directory, but _adds_ new
versions of files to the existing versions, please put note on the download
page that the JabRef/ directory needs to be removed before untarring the
newer version.

I'm still encountering issues where the data entry window does not have a
horizontal scroll bar on the bottom so all fields can be seen full size.
This stopped me entering a workshop proceedings because I could not enter
the required data on the right side of that window.

I'm also not finding a movable window divider so I can shrink the horizontal
size of the group list and see more of the bibliography list.

When I open JabRef it shows the data entry box for the first entry in the
database but the application was closed with that data entry box closed. How
can I open the application without having that data entry window at the
bottom of the bibliography list?
