Automatically set file links - shortcut F7 not working

[tpet]

JabRef version
JabRef 4.0
Linux 4.4.8-040408-generic amd64
Java 1.8.0_151

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select an entry without the file link for which there is a matching file.
2. Press F7. The file link should be set automatically but is not.
3. Select the item from menu (Automatically set file links). The link is set correctly.
4. Press F4. The file just set opens correctly.

The button within the entry editor (Automatically set file links for this entry) is also not working.

Not sure whether this is related, but there is an exception in the log, enclosing below.
