Bug reports
1

Steps to reproduce

In any normal note start a bulleted list with "- ".
When finished with line tap enter to go to new bullet.
Capital letters appear in keyboard for a fraction of a second and then change to lower case.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes. Created a new vault with no community plugins or anything. Big still occurs.

Expected result

Each time I enter a new line, the first letter should auto-capitalize.

Actual result

Letters are capitalized for a fraction of a second then turn lower-case

Additional information

Bug is happening on Gboard and Samsung keyboards

I have an unlisted YouTube short but it won’t let me submit with any links. But I think it’s pretty straightforward

I do not see this.

We have this big other problem though Enter in Lists on Android/Gboard doesn't make next bullet point, checkbox, etc (due to autosuggest, autocorrect)

My bad for the long delay, I have a video of the behavior I’m seeing in an unlisted YouTube short. As I’m not able to post links, how would you like me to get it to you?

Got the same bug here in a brand new, clean vault for source mode and live preview.
Also occurs if you type to create a dotpoint or use the keyboard command.
Gboard shows caps for a split second, Swiftkey always shows lower case.
Same deal with checkboxes.

Screen recording link of this using Swiftkey on a brand new, clean vault: streamable(.)com/g9rabi
Remove brackets from link to use it.

These are my details:

  • Android 11 (TCL 20 Pro)
  • Obsidian 1.89
