Mobile keyboards and spell checkers often don’t use proper APIs to insert text. Instead they just modify the content on the page. Even though we don’t focus on mobile support for the web at this moment, we have made a decent effort to make it work nevertheless.

I will need some more information from you to investigate further:

  1. What version of Android. Older versions are the most misbehaving.
  2. What kind of spell checker did you use. Are you using Grammarly or something like that or is it some default spell checker?
  3. Do you get this problem even if the note only consists of the misspelled word, or is it only when you have markdown markers before, like list item bullets or inline markers?
