This bug report has been added to our tracker and received by our development team.
This is the intended behaviour at the moment. Did you expect it to behave any differently?
yes. how else do i delete a line when im inside a toggled scope 
. The inside of a toggled scope should behave a standard scope not exit out of the scope everytime you press backspace
i’ll present my case :
- Title Toggling is a key feature that a lot of modern editors and note-taking apps support to make notes more maneagable. There are entire editors built around toggling lists / titles as their key feature (roam research, logseq, obsidian). All of them behave as expected. when pressing backspace to delete lines within nested toggled scopes
- The idea is that you can nest concerns. and navigate up and down the heirarchy when u need, where u need it, and collpase to avoid cluttering the page up.
- Toggling titles and list was not supported by anytype so far. Toggled headings and titles attempt to adress that limitation. They’re meant to allow this heirarchical workflow, where you can work inside the scope of a title, and expand and collapse in and out of scopes.
- In this workflow the inside of a scope should behave as a standard/typical scope, you can go up, down, delete, add lines, nest further. You do these a lot. You RARELY NEED TO DE-INDENT out of the active scope. You only do that ONCE PER SCOPE. whereas deleting and adding lines you tend to do that regularly….
So when you press backspace in a typical scope it deletes the line, and takes you up a line further.
Imagine if a code-block behaved like that….
I dont know why anyone would randomly want to exit out of a toggled scope in the middle of the scope… you get me? 
It’s odd I’m getting different behaviors in different Toggled Title Blocks. Some places it backspaces exit out of the toggled block, in others pressing backspace deletes the line and moves up to the previous line.
very wierd. here’s a screen recording :
am i missing something?
Hi. I think I was supposed to repost this here.
Experiencing the same issue. Bakcspace used to prioritize deleting text style (bullet, toggle, or checkmark) before outdenting a line, now it does the opposite.

Reposted from a report of the same problem: The hierarchy of lists inside of toggles breaks when you delete a list item
Thank you
Guys. I hate to beat a dead horse. But working with nested lists and blocks is a CRITICAL workflow that is UNUSABLE right now.
I dont feel very confident opening anytype, to pen down my thoughts and create heirarchies, cuz i know it will be painful to move things around.
I wish this was more like obsidian, notion, logseq, roam research. working with bullet point lists. is CRITICAL.
please fix this issue 
Hey! I can’t seem to reproduce this in the latest alpha build anymore. Would you mind trying it out? However, please don’t use it with your existing data, as there’s a chance of data loss.
Scared to swtich to alpha build, Dont want to lose my data. But the bug’s pretty annoying still in the latest public stable build.
On a related note, Its been a while that anytype hasnt shipped fixes for some pretty major bugs (switching tabs dont update tabs, multiple open tabs causing input latency, and this backspace behavior, slow gallery view performaance) to name a few. Or any feature updates for that matter. it’s been over a month since the last major release.
Are you guys busy with the big overhaul?
I hope you make some time for fixes too.
