Description
JabRef version
5.3 (latest release)
Operating system
Windows
Details on version and operating system
Windows 10 21H1
Checked with the latest development build
- I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
- I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Would it be please possible to list in the preview multiple selected entries from the entry table? Something similar is already possible to copy through rightclick > copy > copy citation > TXT, but having it in preview would be also nice.
- Select entry
- Check preview: preview of entry#1
- Select multiple entries
- Only entry#1 shows but not entry#2, entry#3,...
