Sorry, off topic,

but I have two questions re Jabref

1. If I want to save or select a file, the menu opens BEHIND the Jabref.
How can I get it in the forground?

2. I can't get Jabref (it's 4.3.1) to export Umlaute (neither in UTF8
nor in Din1505 nor in html.

Example:
@Article{Buenning1932c,
  author  = {Bünning, E.},
  title   = {Über die {E}rblichkeit der {T}agesperiodizität bei den
\emph{{P}haseolus}-{B}lättern},
  journal = {Jb. wiss. Botanik},
  year    = {1932},
  volume  = {77},
  pages   = {283-320},
}

Note, that I talk just about the Jabref export itself, not via lyx.

I could not find help in the net, it just says it would work. But not
for me.

Thanks, John. I have, by the way, tried also to use biblatex in Jabref. Same problem. I also tried German as the language- no cure. Could it be due to a general language setting on my PC? And where would I check for it? I am using

Downloads$ cat /etc/issue Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia \n \l and the KDE version

This is the keybord input configuration:

Current configuration for the input method:

* Active configuration: missing (normally missing)

* Normal automatic choice: none (normally ibus or fcitx or uim)

* Override rule: zh_CN,fcitx:zh_TW,fcitx:zh_HK,fcitx:zh_SG,fcitx:ja_JP,fcitx:ko_KR,fcitx:vi_VN,fcitx

* Current override choice: (de_DE)

* Current automatic choice: none

* Number of valid choices: 1 (normally 1)

The override rule is defined in /etc/default/im-config.

The configuration set by im-config is activated by re-starting X.

Explicit selection is not required to enable the automatic configuration if the active one is default/auto/cjkv/missing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I had started the new Jabref (4.3.1) from the folder in which I keep it by using

~/JABREF-4.3.1$ java -jar JabRef-4.3.1.jar

I noticed that synaptic has an old jabref, which I now removed completely via synaptic. Now the export of Umlaute works. No idea, what went wrong before.

MY FIRST QUESTION REMAINS:

1. If I want to save or select a file, the menu opens BEHIND the Jabref.
How can I get it in the forground?
Thanks for help,
Wolfgang
