To avoid over-crowding when adding biblatex, the field widgets can be
distributed over more tabs. Alternatively, the UI has to be refactored, maybe
like those available in KConfigDialog. Or some "folding" (like code folding)
can be used...
I still think that showing/hiding widgets will lead to a bumpy user
experience.
Once BibLaTeX support becomes more urgent, we can ask one of the KDE
usability experts what solution would be best...
Can we still close this bug as its original issue has been solved?
