Description
Reading notes updates modified date even no change has been made, aside of clicking into text or marking text.
Steps to reproduce
- Scroll through old notes.
- Click on old note to open it.
- Mark or click some text without changing it.
- Click on other note to open it.
Expected behaviour
As no real change has been made, the note will not be saved and thus its modified date will not be updated.
Actual behaviour
In many cases the note gets saved and modified date updated to current dateTime. This destroys the history.
