Description

First: great work all, thanks for taking up the torch and continuing this great project.

Using bulleted (or other lists) in a database migrated from Trilium, I noticed that there's a lot more spacing than usual between lines. This is how it looked on Trilium

And this is how it looks on Trilium Next

A review of the HTML indicates that, compared to the equivalent from Trilium, <p style="margin-left:0cm;"> is being added at the beginning of each line, leading to the excess spacing. Thus:

<ul><li>This is a test
    <ul><li>of multi-tiered bulleted lists.
        <ul><li>And shows the excessive spacing.
    </li></ul>
</li></ul>

Becomes

<ul><li><p style="margin-left:0cm;">This is a test</p>
    <ul><li><p style="margin-left:0cm;">of multi-tiered bulleted lists.</p>
        <ul><li><p style="margin-left:0cm;">And shows the excessive spacing.</p>
    </li></ul>
</li></ul>

Again, much obliged for the work.

No logs.

I can't seem to reproduce this on Linux or on the Web server.
Perhaps windows specific.

@ekenwere , it seems I am unable to reproduce it either, on Windows 11.
Does it happen every time for you? Did it happen when you typed out the list or did you copy-paste it from somewhere else?
It could be a CKEditor bug, since we've upgraded versions from the original.

Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply.

Bizarrely, after spending the entire day struggling with the problem when I posted the bug report, I'm now having trouble reproducing it myself. I do have a couple of existing documents with the problem, but can't consistently reproduce it on new ones. If I can find a better way to consistently do so, I'll comment again.

@ekenwere , in the next release the issue should be fixed for existing notes as well since we now force zero margins on lists.
