What were you doing: Empty notes show up in trash.
What feature did you use: Deleting empty notes.
What happened: I was looking through deleted notes and I noticed several empty notes that I deleted after accidentally creating new notes (happens once in a while).
What did you expect to happen: These notes are completely empty. They have the greyed out placeholder title “A wonderful new note” and have nothing in them. I would expect them to disappear instead of showing up as individual empty notes in trash, since there are nothing in the notes at all so there’s nothing worth retaining.
I don’t think it’s a bug because it has been present in Bear 1 (the current app) for since the beginning. It is sorta dumb though. Probably a necessary thing given the nature of Bear’s database.
Yeah, but there should be a way to detect that it is completely empty and make it disappear? Maybe I’m missing something here. I have myself to blame for deleting quite a number of empty notes, but it’s weird to leave them there or have to periodically go into trash to permanently delete them.
I think it is not a bug but a totally senseless feature to keep totally empty notes in the trash can. Nobody would go back to the trash to revive an empty note rather than just creating a new one
