This is not only about the colors. I have observed that sometimes an unselected tag gets automatically selected when another tag is selected.

This incorrectly selected tag shows a gray checkbox, which contains a - symbol. Normally, this symbol denotes a parent tag. But, in this case, it is appearing in tags that don't have any sub-tags.

This gray checkbox appeared after I selected the tag with the blue checkbox. Also, the incorrect tag can't be removed, it keeps toggling between - and ✓.

It may be unrelated but when I took a screenshot of this tags window, the app crashed.

@user1823 If possible, can you also share the log messages?

[user1823]

Can you tell me how to do it? Also, I am not a dev. So, I would be able to do it only if it doesn't involve going to the command-line, etc.

[Sagar0-0]

If you're not a dev, then you don't need to share it. Thank you for reporting the issue.

I have gone through all the related files, Adapter, and XML, but couldn't find the logic that leads to this inconsistency. Any ideas of what might be happening with the Checkbox state change cycle and color-related issue?

[Sagar0-0]

I might need some help in analysing what exactly is causing the issue

@Sagar0-0

Can you tell me how to reproduce this? I want to test it?

I am converting the tagDialog to alertDialog in #15398 this will probably fix this as the theming of alert dialog has been fixed recently.

Reproduction Steps:

• Edit a note with a selected tag in the Browser
• Tap the checkbox to remove the tag
• Tap outside the checkbox to add the tag
