Zotero (BibTex) into JabRef is not working.

emorales
I have set Zotero, Gear icon>preferences>export>Default Output Format: BibTeX
This used to be enough to drag Zotero items into JabRef. Now when I drag the zotero item into JabRef it creates a Java window. Extrange. Am I missing a setting or something?

    have you tried dragging somewhere else (text editor, or just this forum) to see if you're getting regular bibtex output?
    Nothing has changed about this on the Zotero side.

    Adam. I tested dragging a Zotero BibTex item into Word and Bibdata looks fine. So what I did is to install an older version of Jabref 2.6 (2011) and the dragging now works fine. So for other users that might encounter same issue, the problem happens with JabRef 2.8.1 (July 4th 2012) but not in JabRef 2.6. Thanks for your help.
