Inserting a Line (Task) Before a Completed Task Changes Its Status to Incomplete

[MG250]

Pressing Enter at the start of a completed task to insert a new line (task) before it changes the status of the completed one to incomplete.

Steps to reproduce

1. Place the cursor at the beginning of a completed task.
2. Press Enter to insert a new line before it.
3. Observe that the originally completed task becomes incomplete, and the newly inserted task inherits the completed status.

Yes

Expected result

The completed task should retain its status when a new task is inserted before it by pressing Enter at the beginning of the line.

Actual result

The completed task loses its status, and the newly inserted task is marked as complete.
