DropNote v2.9.1 is a bug-fix release. It removes a crash that could hit you mid-sentence, makes the note tabs readable when you have more than a handful, and puts the popover and the notes window on the same page — literally.

What's Fixed

The Typing Crash

  • Fixed a crash while typing after adding or deleting notes — the editor used to hold on to a note's position in the list. Adding, deleting, pinning or reordering notes shifted everything underneath it, so the next keystroke could write to a slot that no longer existed and take the app down with "Index out of range"
  • The editor now addresses notes by identity, so a note that moves or disappears can't drag the editor with it

Finding Your Way Around the Tabs

  • The active tab always scrolls into view — switch notes, create one, or delete one, and the tab you're working on stays visible instead of hiding off-screen
  • The active tab is unmistakable — accent color, semibold label, and an underline
  • A horizontal scrollbar under the tab strip, visible as long as there's more to scroll and draggable to move through the tabs
  • Edge fades on whichever side still has tabs hidden
  • A counter chip showing your position and the total (3/12), which opens into a jump-to menu for every note

Everything in Sync

  • Fixed edits not showing up between windows — the popover, the notes window and floating notes now share one source of truth, so a change in one appears in the others as you type
  • Fixed the word counter staying at 0 — it tracks what you're typing live
  • Fixed global search showing stale text — it searches what's on screen, not the last thing written to disk
  • Fixed "Delete all notes" leaving notes behind in already-open windows

More Fixes

  • Self-destructing notes no longer discard what you were typing when the expiry sweep runs
  • Notes carrying rich text but no plain text (written by older versions) are repaired on load — they were showing up empty in the word counter, in search, in the sidebar preview and in TXT/PDF export
  • Undo no longer reaches across notes and pastes one note's text into another
  • Renaming a note from the tab bar can no longer land on the wrong note
  • Dragging tabs and sidebar rows to reorder is identity-based and can't swap the wrong pair
  • Floating a note that gets deleted no longer leaves an editable ghost window
