Description Andreas Säger 2023-05-31 20:06:03 UTC 
Description:
Tools>Bibliographic Database... [Column Assignment] opens a dialog with many listboxes where you map database columns to bibliographic fields.
Each of these listboxes removes an existing assignment as you browse the dropped--down list entries. 
"Short name" is mapped to the "Identifier" column of the default dBase biblio.
Now drop down some other listbox and type letter "I" which will select "Identifier" and remove the existing assignment even if you finally choose the right listbox entry. The assignment "Short name" = "Identifier" is lost.

This could be the cause of many problems with this tool.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools>Bibliographic database.... 
2. Button [Column Arrangement]
3. Notice that "Short name" is assigned to the "Identifier"
4. Drop down any other listbox, navigate to the "Identifier" using the up/down arrows

Actual Results:
The existing "Identifier" assignment is removed although you did not finish the selection in the other listbox.

Expected Results:
Whatever, but not this. Even a duplicate assignment would be better.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Keep existing assignments while browsing another listbox.

Steps (little modification)
1. Tools>Bibliographic database.... 
2. Press button "Column Arrangement"
