Description

Something happened in the upgrade to NextCloud 26 and the interactions with the iOS NextCloud Notes app.

It is using a webview in the app to edit new notes, which is causing issues.

Big one for me is it no longer uses the first line of a new note as the title for the note, resulting in many 'New note (i)' notes, where i is incremented.

It is possible to change the title of the note after editing, but this was not the default behaviour before the update to NextCloud 26.

As anyone else seen this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing new-note creation in the iOS app after the NextCloud 26 upgrade, then trace how the first line is handled as the note title. Done means a new note again uses its first line as the title instead of an automatically numbered “New note” title.
