Description
I store a lot of important notes in NextCloud. Since I started using the iOS app, I have on a few occasion had 80% of a note's contents get deleted unexpectedly.
I really don't want to switch to something else, but I've been lucky so far that none of the very important stuff was deleted, it's gonna happen eventually if I don't switch. Is this a known issue?
For additional context: my assumption is it's something to do with the internet connection being poor while I edit the note. However, it's not just that it's failing to sync the new content, because the parts of the notes that get deleted are parts that I have not edited in weeks or months.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing note editing and syncing in the iOS app under a poor connection, then compare local and server note contents to isolate when older text is deleted; done means identifying the failure condition and preventing the unintended data loss.
