What happened: #! (which is a tag in Bear 1) was imported as text – it would only become a tag if I manually add a trailing hashtag. Subtags like #!/review got imported correctly as tags.
What did you expect to happen: #! should be interpreted as a tag, same as in Bear 1.
I have this issue as well. Generally all symbols ! @ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + = { } | [ ] \ : ; " ' < > , . ? / ~ doesn’t seem to work anymore. Need a hashtag at the end.
Yes, this is by design, punctuation is now allowed to be used near tags without being included in it. This allows for better usage of tags overall: #tag,(#tag)#tag. etc…
What we can do is migrate those tags better by adding a # at the end, but the new usage should follow this new rule.
