Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• 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 can't exactly replicate this issue, it occurs a few times a day. The following steps might increase the likelihood to stimulate the issue:

1. I've generally deactivated "fulltext search" or background features in the preference pane.
2. Use (global) search and leave search term in the search field (might be an optional step).
3. Add a new entry to a large DB OR edit the comments field and other field of an existing entry.
4. Save file.

I'm using top to see that there is a postgre instance spun off and to check its CPU load. This issue has not occurred under JR5.x.
