Error in Rich Edit Mode in NextCloud Notes

[0xt4req]

Android version: 11

Device: Symphony Z33

System language: English (US)

App version: 4.1.0

App source: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.niedermann.owncloud.notes

Description: There is an error in Rich Edit Mode in NextCloud Notes. Please see the attached video for better understanding. The user is not able to use rich editor to create notes which is a business logic error. Because NextCloud provides the user to customize the notes as per the user wants. But in this case, rich editor mode is not opening.

Steps to reproduce:

1. open the app
2. click on a note
3. click on rich edit mode.

You'll get an error.

Please see the video POC for better understanding. https://github.com/nextcloud/notes-android/assets/66784831/63767da8-b179-42a8-ad50-87c1dd3517f7

Thanks & Regards, 0xt4req

I've been experiencing the same error on two different phones (both rooted).

Is there any sort of additional information that i might be able to provide?

• What appears in the Nextcloud Server log during these attempts to load the rich editor?
• What version of the text app is installed on the Nextcloud Server?

Same here, but the note is corrupt after returning to plain text - either empty or just some remnants - and cannot be restored.

On the server rich text editing works.

I have a managed cloud (murena.io) and don't know the notes version on the server.
