Moving a newly-created block deletes text

Bug Reports
#1

Describe the bug
If I create a new block in an object, type some stuff in it, and then use ctrl+shift+arrow to move the block, it moves the block but also deletes all the text I just typed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to an object page
  2. Type some text in a new block
    image
    Do NOT hit enter
  3. Press ctrl+shift+up arrow
  4. See the following:
    image
    As you can see, the block I was typing in was moved up between the two blocks above it, but all the text I typed is gone.

Expected behavior
The block should be move and the text should still be there, like so:

I confirm, I just reproduced the bug, but the :warning: DO NOT HIT ENTER :warning: is indeed essential.

#3

I would imagine that upon first creating a block, the contents aren’t “saved” properly until you hit enter - so until you hit enter, the app itself just views the block as empty.

#4

This would be rather worrying, especially for those who write very long paragraphs before hitting Enter.

This could indeed be how Anytype functions at this moment or is a bug. If it is intended behaviour there should be a warning when that you lose your text when doing something like this without hitting enter. So you don’t lose anything.

@QuantumJump
This was mentioned as fixed in the release notes of 0.24.0
Can you confirm that?

#8

Yes, this appears to be fixed now! Thank you!
