Quick Open on iPhone not retrieving selected note

Bear feedback Bear Bug Report
1

On iPhone, using the three-finger swipe to quick open a note is randomly opening a different note than the one I selected. I’ve attached a screen-capture video that shows what is happening.

In the video, I attempt to open three notes:

  • Sequence 1: I tap on Memory Editing, but a note on Memento Mori is opened.
  • Sequence 2: I tap on Memoir, and the Memoir note is correctly opened.
  • Sequence 3: I tap again on Memoir, and a note on Mendicant is opened.
  • Sequence 4: I tap on Travel Writing, and a note on Team of Rivals is opened.

I have restarted my iPhone, force-quit Bear, etc., but the bug persists. The bug isn’t consistent. Sometimes the correct note opens; other times, it does not. The wrong note only appears when three characters are typed in the quick open search box. I haven’t been able to replicate the error with two characters or four or more.

This only happens on iPhone. Bear on iPad and Mac seems fine.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We’ll look into it as soon as possible.

I see this issue periodically as well.

I haven’t been able to capture it on video because it only happens sometimes (for me), but often enough that I notice it.
