[Korean Language] Autocompletion for Quick Open/Linking notes/Tag entry in Korean doesn't appear immediately

Bear feedback Bear Bug Report
21

I am personally finding the same issue with Japanese actually (not my daily driver, just tested out for situation confirmation). Also, the underline issue does not appear on the stock app for me either.

On the other hand, I see the underline even when searching for fonts in Bear settings.

Another finding: Bear works as intended when I first boot the app (no blue underline, [[ works as intended ). Then the problem starts as I start trying to input a Korean hashtag. From then on all Korean inputs starts to have blue underline.

Itā€™s same for me.

Are there any updates or findings?

This is a critical bug that severely impacts hashtag and note linking functionality, which are fundamental concepts of the Bear app.

Iā€™ve been waiting for a fix for a year now, and Iā€™m starting to lose hope.

For me it works right away. Heres an image. I donā€™t know if this is what you were referring too.

try it again after typing a Korean worded hashtag. Suddenly it gets the blue underbar while typing and it starts not working until the next reboot.

Oh, I see what you mean.
Although for me, there is the underline thing but it gives me the tag straightaway. Are you updated to the lates Macos version (sequoia 15.3.1).
Also, try to go to app store, and when you go into the updates section, it sometimes doesnā€™t appear. Type in searchbar bear, and clikc on it. There may be the update. button if you havent updated to the latest.
It shows the tag straight away. Is there any chance you couldnā€™t see it? Or could you send me a video or pic so I can see whats happening straight away?
Thanks! (hope i can help you)

Tried and doesnt work. Thanks for trying to help tho :slight_smile:

No problem.
So what is happening is that you create a korean hashtag for a new tag, but then it gives the blue underlines, and only when you restart the app it doesnā€™t work?
Iā€™ll try to see what the problem is but good luck finding a solution! :smiley:

My understanding is that while there is the blue line, the app (or MacOS) thinks that my letters are pending to be finished (which is not quite so)

I think this could be because when you type the Korean letters, your Mac automatically thinks that you have made a spelling error (because you usually type more than 1 character for a whole character set in Korean). This is the blue underline I think that could be doing this. Also, the tag only works at the end, because Bear (and Mac) is trying to decide whether to render it as a new tag or automatically show this as the korean tag you already have. I donā€™t know if there is a way to fix this, but I will dig deeper :slight_smile:
