Bug: Rename notes from a search result reformat the note content

Hi,
I think this is a pretty severe bug. I never intended the note content to be reformatted. I just lost 1 hour of my life undoing the reformatting and submit this bug. Here's how to reproduce: - open a web browser, login and go to notes - create a note with title "test_bad_autoformat" with content "http://example.com" - do a note search for "test" - rename to the note title from "test_bad_autoformat" to ""test_bad_autoformat RENAME" Result: the note content becomes "example.com", the "http://" has been stripped. I think the damage is bigger depending on how big/complex the content of the note is. I personally got more than just "http://" stripped note, example: - "News Show" ==> "<em>News</em> Show" - "http://news.nationalpost.com/news" ==> "<em>news</em>.nationalpost.com/<em>news</em>" - "newpaper" ==> "<em>news</em>paper" Honestly, the "old notes" of 1 year ago was less eye candy/sexy but way more functional and not buggy like this "new note". I have submitted another issue about note search is slow since a few months. And I can not scroll long notes with arrow up/down since the "new notes". Not very happy since the "new note" is rolled out. Hope the "new task" is not that bad. |

Any update? It's been a week. I can still reproduce this bug right now.
Just to be clear, this is a data corruption bug here. The data is getting modified without the user wanting it. If "newpaper" becomes "<em>news</em>paper" then a search for "newpaper" won't be able to find it anymore ! Can the admin acknowledge data corruption bug is severe level/impact and should be classified as high priority? And provide an ETA for the fix? I am not doing any note title rename now since a week because of this. Do you realize this is extremely inconvenient? |

I can confirm that if you do a search and then while the search is still active you edit the title of a note, then links will lose the "http" part in front of them, and any words that were highlighted in the note will become permanently highlighted. We have fixed the bug already and are doing final testing before we release the fix. It should be early this week. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
