Hi, I have the issue that the JabRef window becomes unresponsive (no menus like 'file', 'quality', while it works to select an item) on the second screen of a multi-screen setup.
Version: 2020-03-29 16:22 Error at runtime: (java:643023): Gdk-WARNING **: 17:45:00.905: XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed. Don't do that.
Thanks
@Bevan: Thanks again!
rmagno@midget ~> sudo pacman -Qkq
No output is what I got. So seemingly it had been only those jre-* packages that were affected. I am guessing that at some point I must have forced pacman to ignore dependencies, like you said before.
BTW: Thank you for maintaining JabRef in Arch!
@magno: Maybe quickly run sudo pacman -Qkq to make sure that no other packages are affected. It will output missing files and their corresponding package, so no output at all is what you want.
Thank you @Bevan! JabRef works now again.
Reinstalling jre-openjdk and jre-openjdk-headless did solve it. And I had indeed many missing files. I can't, for the life of me, understand what I did that could explain this...

Now archlinix-java correctly lists java-14-openjdk:

OK, yo all required packages are installed. The java executable should be coming with jre-openjdk-headless which you have installed:
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk/bin/java is owned by jre-openjdk-headless 14.0.1.u7-1
Reinstalling jre-openjdk and jre-openjdk-headless will hopefully fix that but of course the question remains why this file was lost.

Thanks for your feedback. The error message actually comes from a custom launch script I use and not from jabref itself. The problem is obviously that your java 14 installation does not show up in archlinux-java.
To debug this issue, could you please run pacman -Qs openjdk and post the output here?
As a temporary workaround, you can try to edit /usr/bin/JabRef and replace the line
/usr/bin/archlinux-java-run --min 13 -- \
by
/usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk/bin/java \
Does this work for you?
Hi @Bevan: Thank you for your feedback.
I don't know what is going on. It seems I have the latest version of jdk-openjdk but JabRef still complains about not finding a suitable JVM:

@magno: That normally should not happen. It means that only java 8 is installed on your system. However, this package has a dependency on java-runtime>=13. You should be able to fix it by installing the package jdk-openjdk.
The question is, how could you end up in this situation? Did you remove some packages and forced pacman to ignore dependencies?
I can't run JabRef.

@shmilee: I like that idea. Implemented in 5.5-2 using JABREF_OPTIONS as variable name.
Note that you can then also put that environment variable into your .bashrc, .pam_environment or something similar to be automatically applied.
shmilee commented on 2022-03-12 13:51 (UTC)
How about add an extra JavaOptions variable in launch script
/usr/bin/jabreflike this?So we can add the
-Djdk.gtk.version=2flag or-Dglass.gtk.uiScale=144dpiflag by cmdline, no need to edit/usr/bin/jabrefafter upgrade.matteodelabre commented on 2020-11-17 14:25 (UTC)
Using JabRef with i3wm, I’m running into the issue described at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5867 in which clicking the menu bar sometimes opens then immediately closes the associated menu, rendering it unusable.
I was able to fix this issue by adding the
-Djdk.gtk.version=2flag after line 9 in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/jabref.sh?h=jabref (as suggested in the related bug report https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8251240). This change also removes the “XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed. Don't do that.” warning mentioned by ruiin in a previous comment.So far, I have not encountered any adverse side-effect from this workaround.
