Bugs

These should be reported on the QOwnNotes issue tracker. Notes below are for collecting information on bugs for eventual reporting on the QOwnNotes issue tracker.

Anchor links

• auto-generation of anchors and links to #anchors do not work
• see example tests here

example code:

[this links to a heading in the current document](#heading)
[this links to a heading in a different document](another-note.md#heading)

Numbered checklists

• numbered checklists don't really work (they turn into bulleted checklists by default):
• see example tests here

example:

1. [ ] a checkbox
2. [x] another checkbox
3. doesn't seem to use the numbers...

Spacing of last item in list

• if the last item in a list is indented, it is spaced very strangely (and different from all other items in the list)
  • is this an example (yes, it is)

Blockquotes styling

• blockquotes are not styled at all (only indented)
  • this is still true even if the setting for "full styling" of blockquotes is selected
    • this appears to merely highlight the blockquote text in yellow in the edit window
      • i.e., it has no effect on the preview at all
  • these should be, at the least, styled with a vertical grey bar as in most other applications

Export to PDF

• export to pdf always prints to black and white
  • images, links, code highlighting etc, are all black and white
  • this is almost never desirable
  • should at least be an option for colour
    • or, even better, default to black and white for printing and colour for pdf export

"Active note folder"

• there is no explanation of what making a new folder an "active note folder" means

Creating new links on click

• this issue still seems to be affecting wikilinks clicked on in preview:
  • Relative links to new file in existing subfolder will create new folders instead of using the existing subfolder · Issue #2106 · pbek/QOwnNotes · GitHub

Styling link text

• adding emphasis / italics to link text makes link disappear in preview
  • e.g.: example link
  • link is still clickable though
  • check to make sure this isn't restricted to one particular colour scheme
• more generally, styling link text does not seem to work at all
• examples:
  • bold link text: preview displays as bold text, but not link, however link is still clickable
  • italic link text: preview displays as italic text, but not link, however link is still clickable
  • strikethrough link text: displays correctly in the preview, but not in the editor
  • bold link text: does not show as bold in the preview

Unable to drag links from the preview

• in most Qt programs, clicking and dragging on a link/URL allows the full URL to be dropped on to any other program (e.g., a browser or text editor)
• however, clicking and dragging on links in QOwnNotes does not do anything
• in other words, there is no easy way to open links other than in the default browser (by clicking on them directly)
  • current options are:
    • selecting the full text of the link in the editing window
    • right-clicking on the link and selecting "copy link"
• possibly a Qt bug (?)

Disallow all note editing

• Menu item displays as checkbox with title "Disallow all note editing"
  • However, when checked, this means "Allow all note editing" is currently in effect
  • When unchecked, this actually means "Disallow all note editing"
  • This is counterintuitive and should probably be changed
• "Disallow all note editing" seems to activate randomly for no reason
  • Need to collect more information about what circumstances cause this to happen
