Starting from scratch, what are the steps to make the bug happen? The fewer the steps, the better.
Make sure you have the latest Gboard version, as this just started happening with the latest update on Android. My Gboard version is 9.4.11.312687073-release-arm64-v8a
Place the cursor at the end of the text of a node and tap the blue return button in Gboard.
Expected result
What do you expect to see after carrying out the steps above?
What used to happen, and still happens with the Samsung keyboard, is that a new node would be created subordinate to the current node.
Actual result
Instead of the expected result, what happened?
What happens now is that a newline gets added to the end of the current node.
Environment
Which operating system are you using?
Android 10 with Samsung One UI 2.0 on a Galaxy S9
Which browser are you using?
Dynalist app version 1.4.5
If youāre using a desktop or mobile app, whatās the version number of Dynalist?
Dynalist app version 1.4.5
Are you using any third-party scripts for Dynalist, e.g. PowerPack?
No
Additional information
Anything else you think would help our investigation, like a screenshot or a log file? You can drag and drop screenshots to this box. For large amount of text, try putting them into something like Pastebin.
Iāve seen this issue happen a few times on iOS, still havenāt figured out why it happens but I bet itās due to the same problem. Restarting the app should fix it, until you can trigger it again.
If you have any idea what exactly leads to this happening (say open search, or something) please let me know since itās been on our watch list for a while!
If the app is fully synced, try to uninstall/reinstall, or delete app data & cache. Youāll have to login again, but let me know if that fixes the issue.
Deleting app data & cache didnāt help. I see that behavior all the time in every node if it ends with letter. Pressing return in nodes with ., ?, ! or whitespace at the end makes new node as expected.
Oh thatās interesting. So if you press enter when the cursor is right after an alphanumeric character it just goes to the next line in the same bullet?
Can someone test if pressing enter in the middle of an item is broken or not?
When I press enter in the middle of the word then it creates second node. When I press at the end of the word and there is space after that word and more words (simply middle of the sentence), then itās broken.
So yeah, looks like itās creating new line in the same bullet if cursor is after a-z0-9 and only if cursor is at the end of the word. Itās broken also in this scenario: whatever|, so itās stricly about end of a-z0-9.
I just got this to repro. It only seems to happen when GBoard tries to autocorrect the word you typed to something else. In that case, instead of sending an āEnterā keypress, GBoard just swaps the word and inserts a newline character. Ughhh thatās quite annoying.
Let me think of something. If anyone has ideas or tips please let me know.
This is definitely a Gboard issue, Thank you for narrowing it down.
Iām using my Samsung keyboard now and itās back to working like normal (Pressing Enter Key creates a New Item).
Note: I have an old account at Workflowy.com and the results are similar using gboard. However when pressing the Enter key, neither a new item nor a newline is created, the cursor just sits there. When adding a Space followed by the Enter key, then a New Item is created.
Right now itās almost impossible to add a new item on the mobile app
Maybe as a workaround, in the mobile toolbar action there is āInsert new lineā (which does not help of course), but could you also add the following actions:
Insert new item below
Insert new item above
Because even if the enter key getās fixed, it would still be easier on mobile to use those actions (compared to moving the cursor to the end and pressing enter)
