The application hangs when selecting the "Edit > Manage keywords" menú

[JavierMF]

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

JabRef version master on Mac OS X 10.11.4 x86_64
Java 1.8.0_172

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start the application
2. Select an entry in the MainTable
3. Select the "Edit > Manage keywords" menú
4. The application hangs

After debugging, the offender sentence is diag.setVisible(true);

jabref/src/main/java/org/jabref/gui/actions/ManageKeywordsAction.java

Lines 260 to 264 in 66afd42

	diag.pack();
	diag.setVisible(true);
	if (canceled) {
	return;
	}

Thanks for the report, looks like a Threading problem between swing and JavaFX. I think the easiest way is to use an fx dialog and add the swing content to a Swing Node. This is how we do it for the cleanup and the settings dialog

[Siedlerchr]

The dialog still works for me on windows however, it could be that it is in the background, hidden behind the main window.

I can see the Spinning Wheel of Death over the application. If I move the main window nothing is shown in the background and if I change the focus to other application I can not come back to JabRef.

Maybe related to #4118

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/master and report back if it works for you. Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.

Depends on #3861

[Siedlerchr]

Thank you for reporting this issue. We think, that is already fixed in our development version and consequently the change will be included in the next release.
