I’ve had the following bug for a looooooong time but I could never recreate it consistently. This time it ‘worked’ and I could make a short screen capture.

- **Bear Version** : 2.3.12
- **OS Version** : macOS Sequoia 15.4
- **What were you doing** : Typing in the editor
- **What feature did you use** : A list
- **What happened** : When typing in the first line of the list while there’s already a second list item, it can happen that the text of the second line disappears until you continue typing or do something with the missing text. It’s only a small graphical glitch 🙂
- **What did you expect to happen** : Text doesn’t disappear.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but does no one have this text glitches? I just noticed them again in a new note and thought I check back on my bug report. This glitch is obviously not the end of the world, but it can’t be so hard to fix either 😛

I don’t have that specifically but quite often when I am about to edit text the cursor will jump to the top top of the page so when I start typing I am editing the header.

Generally I have to exit the application and re-start and it works ok then it starts again. It does get annoying.

Select text, press Space and … begin typing again to remove visual glitch 🙃 Also in Bear 2.4.2.

Neither one of those happen for me, and I do not recall ever seeing either glitch despite frequent use of Bear.

Yeah, it doesn’t _always_ happen, that’s the problem. I get this on random occasions, and if I remember correctly it dates back to Bear v1 even. Oh well, as I said before, it’s that not that big of an issue and I understand it’s hard to fix if you can’t reproduce the problem…
