Bug Report

Reports that do not adhere to this template will not be addressed and will be closed.

App Version:
2.0.16

Platform: Windows / macOS / Linux
Linux LMDE 6
Cinnamon 6.4.6

Installation Method: App Store / Direct Download / Other
Flatpak

Expected Behavior:
Edits to existing ToDo's will be captured and saved.

Actual Behavior:
Edits to existing ToDo's are being ignored.
However, I'm able to add and update new ToDo's.

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to make any update to an existing ToDo item and it will be rejected.
Creating a new ToDo is accepted and making edits to that item is also accepted.

I've been using Sleek a few years now and this is a very new issue that appeared just today. I've tried rebooting my system (a.k.a. "punting") to see if that resolves it, but it doesn't. I can edit the ToDo file directly through a text editor and the updates will show up in Sleek, so it doesn't appear to be a file permissions issue. I also archived completed ToDo's in Sleek thinking maybe reducing my file size would help, but it did not.

Screenshots:
I've attached a video of the issue, with an explanation of the steps I'm attempting.

Closing - I determined the issue was specifically with ToDo items that have parenthesis in the ToDo text. Not sure why that triggers the issue, but that was it.

@TriggerDingus Can you sure an example? I mean, this might be a bug after all.

[TriggerDingus]

Within the bug report, I attached a video showing the issue. I suspect you should be able to recreate the issue if you create a similar ToDo item that includes parens.

[ransome1]

Unfortunately it doesn't work on my end :(

[TriggerDingus]

I'll embed a link in a few minutes.
I just determined the issue isn't only with items that include parens. I'm also experiencing the issue with this ToDo item, which you may be able to use to reproduce it:

Thanks, I can confirm there is some sort of bug here. Do you mind if I still use this bug report?

[TriggerDingus]

Please do. Thanks for the engagement! -- Sincerely, Stacey

Here is an example of an item with parenthesis that triggers the issue:

(A) Test to-do item that includes paren (like this) triggers the issue. due:2025-01-21

Note: I see you changed the issue title to imply Recurrence is a factor. Please note that this example doesn't have recurrence enabled.

@TriggerDingus could you please take a quick glance at this pre-release? https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v2.0.17-rc.1. I refactored the recurrence picker and I believe this (partly?) solves the issue, we were seeing here.

The AppImage should be a good choice, it won't interfere with your Flathub installation.

[TriggerDingus]

I tried the appImage against a copy of my ToDo file and it appears to be functioning. I tested numerous ToDo items, regardless of recurrence and included punctuation, and couldn't get it to fail. Appears to be working.

[ransome1]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to test this some more and will then add this to 2.0.17.

I had this issue in 2.0.16 and it appears fixed in 2.0.17.rc-1

Here is an example of a task that had the issue and is now working properly:
