Fixes #6447
I have taken a long time considering how to update the preview when preference change. After I found that the PreviewPanel will be bind to entry in FieldsEditorTab.java, then we can just update the layout in PreviewPanel.java#setEntry()
Some ideas:
Can we using observer pattern to refactor the code: JabRefPreferences as Observable object and component need preferences can register as Observer. If the preferences were changed, we can notify the affected component to do an update?
