Description
Checks
- I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:
I just modified one of the string fields for one entry and it breaks the whole database! See the screenshots..
The kdbx file is suddenly 0 byes in size. Since I'm modifying it directly it corrupted the file remotely. Luckily I have a backup but this is serious.
I'm on Android 15, latest app version (just got updated today).
Describe what you expected to happen:
No response
What version of Keepass2Android are you using?
1.14-r0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report on Android 15 with Keepass2Android 1.14-r0, using a backup kdbx file and modifying a string field. Investigate why the file becomes zero bytes and verify that the database remains intact after the edit; the issue does not name source files or tests to run.
