We have "Appearance" below "Advanced"

IMHO "Advanced" should be last. Can we switch it and make the preferences a bit higher so that a user does not need to scroll at the left side?

Nope, height is problematic, especially if you have a small notebook monitor. We also have a search.

Can't we adapt the window size if the window does not cover the whole screen? I hope, this is possible with JavaFX.

After resetting the preferences, restarting JabRef, it appears like that on my monitor:

I assume that a significant amount of users expects

  • programs starting taking a reasonable size - if not full screen
  • popups appearing taking a reasonable size - if not full screen

I would bet that we earn question marks if 50 pixels are missing on a dialog so that it is complete AND the dialog has 300 pixels to grow on the screen.

What could be done is to change the buttons below the list to icon buttons with the names in tooltips...
I think, not every user uses import/export/show prefs every day.
