Current behaviour

1. Joplin opens normally
2. I select a file from the TAGS list
3. The file opens as it should in the editor (internal editor)
4. As soon as I begin to edit it, it just "vanish"
5. If I return to the notes list, change my selection, then return to the previous tag I can see it again.
6. And again, re-opening it FROM THE TAG LIST reproduce the same vanishing effect.
7. Now, If I open the SAME FILE from a NOTEBOOK or ALL FILES (Not from a Tag list), I can edit it normally. No apparent bug.
8. I have deleted and recreated my tags. No change. The issue appears ONLY when the file is open FROM the Tags list.

Expected behaviour

No vashing file when editing it, after opening it from the Tags list

Logs

Well, I did create the flags.txt file and the console opens in Joplin but the flag.txt stays empty even after the bug occurs.

I am also experiencing this issue. When I try to edit a file in a list generated from a Tag, the file disappears. If I click on the Tag name again, the file reappears in the list.

This issue also occurs when I try to edit a Note in a List generated from a Search - I type one character and the note disappears from the List.

Hi,

Same issue:

I found a workaround, just click on the "in notebook" button before clicking in the note:

I tried on two different PCs and after deactivating all plugins, same problem. I have the impression that the problem is not present if I do the same search again 🤔

@nonobio Yes, this works, but the downside is that the List generated from the Search or Tag must be regenerated by Search/Tag for, e.g., the case that you want to edit more or all of the Notes in the List than only the one that disappears when you try to edit it from the List. I hope they will fix this soon. It's just a bit annoying. It seems to be an error introduced with one of the Beta 3.nn versions (not for normal users who are still on version 2.nn).

Could we put the priority level on 'high' please? It makes the desktop app pretty inconvenient.

[Julrob199]

Hope this gets fixed soon! This bug still exists in 3.0.7, it makes the app barely usable since weeks. Hope this i prioritized in the next update. I have the problem on the work windows computer and also here on my private linux. Thank you!!

There are duplicates of many different types, which somehow all refer to the same problem: #10219 #10236 #10194

[Dricc123]

I'm surpised this issue doesn't get more attention

[Julrob199]

@Dricc123 me as well 😂 or if actually everyone is experiencing this (I have at least the problem on two different machines, linux and windows). Unfortunately my programming skills are quite limited to fix this :(

[Dricc123]

Can I support in any way?

[Julrob199]

If you found the reason for this problem this would be amazing. Is it something you would use this developer view window use for?

[nonobio]

A huge thank you, it works :)

On the other hand, the list still changes after editing, is this normal?

I have the impression that during a search the list is sorted by relevance, and that as soon as I edit a note, the list is sorted by the defined sorting (descending modification date in my case):

I would prefer if she didn't change, what do you think?

On the other hand, the list still changes after editing, is this normal?

That didn't happen in Joplin 2.14.22 (edit: This is because of different sort settings in the 2.14 client. See below)! I've opened an issue: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/10586

[Marain888]

I'm pretty sure that it was normal in the past that a note would pop to the top of whatever list had been generated as soon as it was edited, assuming the list is sorted by most recently updated. If you sort it alphabetically, this won't happen.

My Joplin was updated today and included the fixes announced by Laurent. I am very happy that everything seems to be back to normal. Thank you, Laurent!
