Cannot add new tasks when a project is "Sorted"

[llinfeng]

@mgsloan I am writing to report that sorting tasks in a project may stop the o key to work. In the worst case, I have experienced times when I cannot save a task after trying to create it manually. I don't have a fix. It helps to warn people in the ReadMe, say, in the ## Sorting section about the limitation if we have to live with it :)

Here are a few more detailed notes.

---

With a fresh account for Todoist and todoist-shortcuts with either Firefox/Chrome, after selecting any of the "Sort" options, the extension/add-on won't allow me to create a new task. It doesn't matter how I sort the tasks, be it manually through the Sort icon on Todoist, or with s, p, r, or n on the keyboard.

Hitting o summons the following view, where neither of the two pop-up boxes are useful/operable. The "Add task" box accepts mouse clicks, but does not pick up any keystrokes from the keyboard. The menu box on the right also accepts mouse clicks, but instead operates on the currently selected task.

I am picking up the following logs from the console after hitting Ctrl+Shift+I in Chrome.

The same limitation applies to all the Filters. When there is no task, o key works but adds a plain task to the Inbox. When there are tasks in the filter, the same set of two pop-ups shows up after pressing the o key.

Hmm, very curious! Thanks for reporting.

I haven't been able to reproduce these issues in my personal account, but have not yet tried with a fresh account. Are these issues still occurring now? Maybe updates to Todoist itself have fixed the problem

[llinfeng]

With my test account, still, I was able to reproduce the problem as of 2021-09-27, in Chrome, with v1353.

[llinfeng]

Let me close this issue for now. The new Todoist shortcut is in conflict with this repo. O and o are not functioning, and I cannot even perform simple j/k-style navigation at this point.

I will reopen this issue should I get a chance to reproduce it.

[llinfeng]

I find the Version 136 solved the compatibility issue with the new Todoist shortcut. I am reopening this issue as I can still reproduce the same problem. One new caveat is that sorting by priority can be set using p key, but cannot be removed. While the tasks in a project is sorted, I cannot even add a new task with the "Add task" button.

Here are the steps I followed to reproduce the problem:

1. Clear Cookies and Cache, and log back in;
2. Go to a project and sort with with p-key
3. Move around using j/k and press o: still, two menu entries shall pop out.
4. Subsequently, pressing p does nothing - it won't undo the sorting setting anymore.

---

When o key fails to work properly, I usually cannot add more tasks - pressing the enter key does nothing, nor does pressing the "Add task" button do anything.

---

Per my most recent test, to undo the sort-setting, I need to use the Todoist desktop app and check off the sorting option. Also, I need to clear the cookies and the cache for Todoist.com in Firefox to eventually restore normal functionality for o key.

There are also tests where p still can undo the sort-setting, but not all tasks are shown in the project. In a project with 6 tasks, only one is rendered.

@llinfeng Ah, thanks for your detailed description of the problem! I've fixed this in version 137. The sorting keybindings will now also remove sorting if used again.

[llinfeng]

@mgsloan Thanks a lot for getting o / O to work when things are sorted.

One caveat to note is that when there are sections in a project, sorting the list leaves o and O to function similarly - they both add a task to the very top of the task-list within the project.
