  • 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

i categorise this as a bug, for i am facing an issue with a now not anymore available option: adding custom tabs to the entry editor

now

  1. ... open preference, entry editor
  2. ... find editor tabs

i miss a + to allow adding customs tabs - with custom definitions of fields... - adding custom tabs was possible in the past
