"Default library mode" combobox is cut off

[InAnYan]

JabRef version

5.13 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Xubuntu 23.10 x86_64, XFCE

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Go to preferences window
2. Go to "General"
3. Click on "Default library mode"

Only one item is shown, however actually there are two of them. I still can switch between them using arrow keys.

Works great on Windows

Next step: Write a reproducer. See https://github.com/Siedlerchr/javafxreproducer. Maybe, create another app.

I've made an MWE: https://github.com/InAnYan/javafx-comboboxes

It seems to work wonderful on Xubuntu, XFCE!

I guess there is some issue also with JabRef CSS styles.

@calixtus Can you look into the MWE (https://github.com/InAnYan/javafx-comboboxes) and integrate JabRef CSS files there?

Or you can tell me how to do it properly, because I haven't worked with that, and JabRef has some custom logic for CSS

[InAnYan]

Xubuntu, LXDE works perfectly.

I guess it's some issue with XFCE and JabRef CSS

Your repo is private, you need to invite me first

Ooops, I thought I made it public.

Made it public and added you as a collaborator.

JabRef has some custom logic for CSS

What do you mean by that?

I did not see any CSS logic in your example. Can you add some CSS there? One of the first Google hits (https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/css_tutorial/jfxpub-css_tutorial.htm) read that it is straight-forward: scene.getStylesheets().add("path/stylesheet.css");. You could try to use JabRef's full CSS there. If it does not lead to a failing thing, we need to think more. If it leads to a failure, the CSS needs to be cut down. Delete one line, retry... If still issue appears: Delete one line. Repeat until error disappears. Add line again. Delete other lines. With that, one should be able to find the CSS line.

Other idea: JabRef has dynamic reload of CSS, hasn't it? Then, there can be one line after another be deleted to find out the cause?
