User-defined entry preview not functional

JabRef 5.0-dev--snapshot--2019-04-23--master--8f9358d9e
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 1.8.0_172

• I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

I have a user-defined entry preview style. The style is successfully loaded in the Preferences window, but not in the Entry Preview window (see attached screenshot).

Could you please amend this?

[Siedlerchr]

you can switch the entry preview with F9

[alfureu]

I know that. From the example above, I did switch with F9, and it skips the Preview style and goes from APA to IEEE, the Preview style remains APA in the main window, but you can see from the screenshot, I have a user-defined style showing OK in the Test window.

Hm that is odd, could you please paste your style here so I can check that?

Here you go

The preview style istself works fine. The problem is that if more than two CSL styles (not Preview) are on the right, the Entry Preview is always skipped.
This is definitely a bug

Example styles on the right:
Preview
ACM
IEEE
If I remove IEEE, I can switch fine between Preview and ACM.

So the workaround would be to only have Preview and one other style on the right.

[alfureu]

LOL, that's correct, after removing IEEE it works again. Thanks for checking this.
