2. Swipe up to leave the app and navigate to another app
3. Come back
4. You come back to the note you were on

This could be related to #11197 but this is happening on iOS and you don’t need to restart the phone for it to happen.

Also after some messing around, it only seems not all notes do it, one or two will persist, but the majority of them turn blank when leaving the app.

In the video below, just the act of swiping up alone blanks out the screen.

I can reproduce this consistently when you search, and the note you select is not in the current notebook. iOS 18, Joplin 13.1.5

This is happening to me as well on Android.

I'm linking to the commit that resolved #9204. It should be in Android v3.1.7.

@personalizedrefrigerator I don't know if the commit you linked resolved #9204, after all the issue is still recurring in latest android version 3.1.7. I think you may be referencing a different fix since I see the following. So two separate issues two different commits.

Just want to add that also activating Siri (Hey Siri) blanks the screen (after following the quoted steps)

Still happens on 3.2.2 Android fyi.

Thank you for noticing! That may be related to an incorrectly resolved conflict in this merge commit.

In release-3.1, where a fix was originally merged, noteId={noteId} overrides the noteId specified in props:

joplin/packages/app-mobile/components/screens/Note.tsx

Line 1654 in 9c4142f

<NoteScreenComponent key={noteId} {...props} noteId={noteId} />

This change was made such that the note editor would continue to render the last-seen note id, even if props.noteId became null. This could happen if the note selection was cleared.

In dev, notice that noteId no longer overrides the noteId specified in props:

joplin/packages/app-mobile/components/screens/Note/Note.tsx

Line 1606 in 0a5bc96

<NoteScreenComponent key={noteId} dialogs={dialogs} {...props} />

As a result, clearing the selection would still cause the note editor to edit nothing.

I don't know if you've already pushed a release out but I don't notice this anymore, thanks for fixing!
