can't jump in ordered author list by typing letters

JabRef 5.0--2020-03-06--2e6f433
Mac OS X 10.14.6 x86_64
Java 13.0.2

I updated today to the latest stable release.
I have my literature sorted by author (last) name, clicking on "Author/Editor" until the upwards-pointing triangle shows. Now I could just jump to anywhere by typing a letter, e.g. by typing "e" I would jump to the first author/editor startig with "e" or "E". Same for longer names.
As of version 5, this seems not to work anymore. For me, such jumping has become an elementary habit, as I typically don't remember the name fully and cannot search for it.

Hello @cdormann , this issue should now be solved by @leitianjian in PR #6440. You can test the latest dev build in about an hour ( builds.jabref.org ), and we would appreciate if you can tell us if this solution works as you expect it to.
Please remember always to backup your database before using a dev build of JabRef.

Sorry for this extremely long lack of response. I had for the time being moved to BibDesk (which for various reasons I am not so fond of). I now tried the JabRef update and it works nicely, as it should. Happy to be back! Carsten
