Description
Environment
- TeXstudio: 2.12.16
- Qt: 5.12.3
- OS: MacOS 10.14.5
- TeX distribution: TeXLive
Expected behavior
I used to work with BibTeX in the past. Hence I choose the BibTeX in the Bibliography Menu. After pressing F8 or choosing Tools --> Bibliography bibtex started and worked fine.
Than I changed my LaTeX document to use BibLaTeX and choose the other entry in the bibliography menu accordingly. Pressing F8 again still runs the BibTeX program.
Restarting TeXStudio didn't change the effect.
Actual behavior
TeXstudio startet the bibtex program instead of the requested biber

Research direction
Start at the Bibliography menu command invoked by F8 and trace how the BibLaTeX selection chooses its backend. Reproduce the issue with the TeXstudio and TeXLive setup described; done means selecting BibLaTeX invokes biber instead of bibtex.
