Bug report

What were you doing:
Using Bear Web
What feature did you use:
Typed a phone number using the following method (###) ###-####
What happened:
Returned to the page later to reference the phone number and the page behaves problematically by showing a green arrow with phone emoticon that is typed across the page repeatedly as if there was a keyboard key that entered that emoticon and someone was holding it down.
This emoticon continues to repeat across and down the page until I either delete the phone number or browse to another page. When I return to the page the emoticons are gone but the process starts over. This seems to be an odd bug.
What did you expect to happen:
I expect to be able to enter a phone number in the following way without having bear for web derp out. (###) ###-####

Feedback:

I tested this with phone numbers entered in two additional formats with the same problematic results:

Adding an x at the beginning of the string of 10 numbers resolved the issue in Bear for web.

I am unable to reproduce the issue. Do you have any extension in Chrome that links phone numbers, or any other app that could meddle with the note content?

For some context, some tools go in and change the content of web pages. We try to detect that and update the markdown accordingly, but it is hard to do in a fool proof way as we have no control of or insight into what different tools do.

Yep, it was my Google Voice extension in Google Chrome. After disabling it the issue resolved. I don’t really use that extension any more so it’s no big deal to me to leave it disabled. Appreciate the response, and the idea for how to fix it.
