Some minor, random issues with checklists

[gursuj]

I encounter a few random issues with checklists that I can't reproduce consistently. Thus, I created it as a discussion for now.

I enabled debugging and the first issue seems it might be due to sync conflicts? I'm syncing to my phone with Syncthing. Maybe the app tries to sync during checklist changes? Here's the contents of the logs. New similar entries get added when I'm editing the checklist

Issues

• Sometimes, in the middle of writing checklist items, the entire item text gets deleted. Hard to reproduce consistently, managed to reproduce only when sync is enabled. In the video, I deleted ahpenn myself but the rest of the text got removed automatically.

• When deleting empty checklist items with backspace, normally the text cursor would focus the item above it. Sometimes, the focus doesn't go to the item above but to the parent task instead (can be confirmed by using arrow keys, which scrolls tasks). I thought this was caused by sync so I turned it off but still happens randomly sometimes.

• When pressing Enter, a new item is created. Normally, the focus would go to the new item but sometimes it stays on the current item while still creating a new item below it. Happens with sync off too.
