This bug was fixed in the package jabref - 3.6+ds-1

---------------
jabref (3.6+ds-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version. Fixes the following bugs:
    - "New version and new web address" (Closes: #810725)
    - "interface opens, but no menus and no action" (Closes: #846918)
    - "arXiv.org: Search only works using the paper ID." (Closes: #627857)
    - "Unusable after 'missing comma between two fields'" (Closes: #727114)
    - "problems with openjdk-8, awt, and threads" (Closes: #814901)
    - "Jabref duplicated file ?" (Closes: #563649)
    - "jabref not performing online search" (LP: #1449414)
    - "trying to do searches online" (LP: #1641602)
    - "Jabref hangs after Java upgrade" (LP: #1520294)
    - "Jabref fails to open" (LP: #1570068)
  * Build system is now gradle-based and leverages gradle-debian-helper.
    Build-deps, debian/rules, wrapper script, and patches have been
    completely reworked.
  * Notable new patches:
    - Disable "Lookup DOI" feature, which was causing JabRef to hang.
    - Diff-highlighting during "Merge Entries" is disabled due to license
      issues that prevent the distribution of the java-diff-tools library.
  * Update debian/copyright for upstream license changes.
  * Drop lintian overrides (duplicate-word).
  * Update documentation (debian/README.Debian, debian/README.source,
    debian/jabref.1, debian/jabref.bug-presubj) to match new release and
    drop outdated bits.
  * Use debhelper compatibility level 10.
