#### Submenus from the menu bar close immediately after left click is let go of if the menu bar was clicked in its top half

This issue seems to be related to this [JavaFX bug](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8251240). A temporary workaround is to click the menu bar in its lower half. To fix the issue permanently set the following system property: ```java -Djdk.gtk.version=2```. This can be done globally by adding ```_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djdk.gtk.version=2"``` to ```/etc/environment```. It can also be set locally by editing `JabRef.cfg` in your installation folder (possibly located at `/opt/JabRef/lib/app/JabRef.cfg`) and add the line `-Djdk.gtk.version=2` in the `[JavaOptions]` section.
