SUMMARY I installed KBiBTeX on a new computer. When selecting BibLaTeX mode, it is not possible for me to unselect a large number of columns. In BibTeX mode this is not a problem. On another computer, with the same version of KBibTeX, this is not an issue. (But it may be that the column selection was carried over from an earlier KBibTeX version, so that it is not hitting the same issue.) I'll attach a screenshot illustrating the issue. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Created attachment 135717 [details] Screenshot of KBibTeX column selection Screenshot showing the problem of stuck columns. The first set of columns can be selected/deselected. However, the large group of selected columns at the end cannot be deselected.
Yes, I can confirm this problem. The issue stems from that, on a fresh KBibTeX installation, the visibility settings for those many BibLaTeX columns are not set and the default settings (making all columns invisible except for a few important ones) did not get applied. I think I have fixed this issue by triggering a reload of column properties (including applying defaults if no user exists yet exist) when the bibliography system changes (e.g. from BibTeX to BibLaTeX). For now, I have commited the fix in a private repository. Please check and confirm if that fixes the problem for you: https://invent.kde.org/thomasfischer/kbibtex/commit/6dacc13c664631b8cc6bef62072cca3a1af32749
Is it possible to provide a patch against 0.9.2? That would make it easy for me to check.

As 0.10 is about to be released, I don't plan to make any further releases of 0.9.x. To know that the problem is fixed in 0.10, better test it there, too. If compiling source code in general is not a problem, you can follow this guide which should be almost pain-free to test a more recent KBibTeX version: https://userbase.kde.org/KBibTeX/Development#Quick_Start_to_Run_KBibTeX_from_Git Once you have fetched run-kbibtex.sh, you can invoke it like this (all in one line) and everything else should happen automagically: bash run-kbibtex.sh 'https://invent.kde.org/thomasfischer/kbibtex.git' 'bugs/kde433005' All files including configuration files will be placed in /tmp, so it should not interfere with your regular 0.9.2 installation.

(I did have to remove valgrind from the required applications.) I can confirm that this patched version fixes the issue I have with 0.9.2. I leave it to you to close this, once the patch has been integrated. I'm looking forward to a release including this fix.

As you are at it, can you please continue using this version to test the upcoming 0.10 release? Just file a new bug report if you encounter a bug. > I can confirm that this patched version fixes the issue I have with 0.9.2. I > leave it to you to close this, once the patch has been integrated. Yes, I will do so. > I'm looking forward to a release including this fix. Me, too. Thank you for your input!
