I tried to replicate again but noticed a few other things

1. Now i do not see the bug i reported in [Clicking on an existing note turns the note into a blank note - #8](https://community.bear.app/t/clicking-on-an-existing-note-turns-the-note-into-a-blank-note/16523/8).
2. I tried to open a few other notes on web and replicate the behavior but i dont see it happening with most of the notes but just one note.
3. I thought may be this note is too large, that’s why it is crashing but i was able to export larger notes (in terms of word count, character count) but not this one specific note.
4. @matteo I can DM the note to you, please let me know what format will be the most beneficial.
