Checklist got wiped on phone lock/unlock

[coladict]

Version 2.1.1

I had a checklist opened that I spent 20 minutes decoding from a poorly written email and then rewriting to my phone. When at the store, I accidentally locked the phone while the checklist was opened. Unlocked immediately and all the entries from that checklist were deleted. Not marked as checked, just deleted. There was nothing in the recycle bin, because the root of the note was still there and active.

There have been other times when regular notes got blanked out after unlocking when it's the active app over the last two years, but this time it really ruined my mood.

++, had that happen recently in the middle of the supermarket, and today while I was preparing a shopping list. This time, I made the same connection and was able to reproduce the issue right away - as described above, locking the phone with the app with a checklist open and unlocking it afterwards will completely clear the list and then show a "Liste aktualisiert" (German version here; the English variant might be something like "note has been updated") popup. Interestingly enough, while just testing it, I once had a lock/unlock cycle where the checklist items where not wiped on an existing checklist. That time, the "note has been updated" popup did not appear either. Could that mean that the unintended wiping happens right before the app saves the checklist?

This is happening to me fequently.
About every second day I have a note just loose all entries when I am using this app;
I have lately been saving frequently to prevent this, but it still happens.

Haven't seen this (yet) or able to recreate but I'm on Android 12 and turned battery optimisation off for the app (to get reminders on time).

I wonder if the app is being killed in the background? Does it still occur if you turn off battery optimisation?
