I'm experiencing formatting issues with Webclipper using Chrome and Mac 7.1 (an issue that has probably been noted already). When clipping a simplified article I end up with a fixed line length (does not re-adjust when I resize windows) and severe limitations on subsequent editing of the note. For example, the font size of the title (within the note, not the title of the note) is exceedingly large, but I am unable to reduce it. If I cut the title altogether, any subsequent text entered at the start of the note reverts back to the original title font, size and format. Will you restore the functionality of previous versions?

Thanks

I'm having the same problems with Chrome on Windows 10. The article title is presented in PT Serif 62 which is ridiculously huge (see screen snap). I don't recall exactly when this started happening, but I think it was in early March of this year.

[EdH 1,642]

what about the issue where it wouldn't remember user preferences as to column width and sort if in List View?

[Nick L. 584]

@EdH and @janstet,

These issues are still not resolved yet.

We're reworking the note list and will slide in these fixes accordingly as soon as they are resolved in our end. Thanks for the patience and for pointing out the bugs. Please keep them coming.

Hey @macfixer,

You're correct. We're tracking some of these note count discrepancies in this version. There's also an issue where when you access a note shared via WorkChat, it adds +1 to your note count, but when you remove that WC thread the count doesn't go down. Just FYI.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll confirm with the devs if this is an issue we have logged. 

**Update**

This issue was filed on 7.0.3 and is on our radar. Thanks.

Can we get an update on when a fix will be available for the "blank note list" glitch. Honestly it's very disappointing that the note list has been broken for 2 months now. Version 7.0 was released on Feb. 16th. It's now April 16th and the note list is still broken...

After the update to 7.1, numbered lists do not renumber properly when a single item is deleted. Numbering restarts after the deleted item (see screenshots below). Is this an intentional change or a bug? This is definitely not how lists previously behaved. Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning this. Our developers are aware of it, and the fix should be available in a future update (no eta on when to expect it).

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words. We're balancing feature development with bug fixes and technical spikes. In regards to other material bugs, we have good detection in place so the list is numerous. I am aware of the complications this can create and am allocating some additional resources and developing new strategies for making a more meaningful impact to the bug backlog. 

The note list has been broken for over 2 months now. How is this not a top priority on the list of outstanding bugs?

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I wish you (Evernote) would put a hold on any new features until this backlog of bugs is substantially reduced. And this goes double for the WIndows side.

I am thrilled to see the issue is recognized, but until it is given top priority, it is going to be an ongoing problem.

There's still no fix for the blank note list bug...come on Evernote! It's been over 6 weeks now...

Kudos!! thanks for fixing it. Although I'm affected for those bugs or I don't use that features, I hope you are able to fix them soon.

I like the focus on fixing bugs. Keep it up!

@Jason Creadore, many thanks for a release that is focused on bug fixes.  Please keep doing this until all of the material bugs are fixed.

Other than the two outstanding bugs listed above, can you tell us if there are any other material bugs not fixed, that have been reported since Ver 6.11.1 (the last good version, IMO).

Thanks.

This release STILL continues to pop up a notification asking for approval when moving a note from my inbox to a shared notebook. I do this more than 5 times a day and i've been doing it for 9 years, now Evernote insists that i approve every single note i move to a shared notebook. This "feature" is intrusive, counterproductive, and absolutely should have a checkbox (as is normal in MacOS apps) that gives me an option to no longer see this notification requesting my approval. This was added in 7.0 and is the single worst and most intrusive thing to affect my daily work that Evernote has ever done.

Any chance you can stop pushing Spaces Ads to the Mac client?

I've got a personal account that I pay for and one of the original promises was "pay and no ads" - to my mind that includes Evernote's own stuff.

Why is there no fix for the issue with Evernote Clipper for Mac?

My understanding from Evernote staff's post was that a fix should have been delivered in v7.1?

When can we expect this fix to be released?

 

[hch801 0]

Since I updated Evernote app on my Mac to the latest one, the application is not opened... So, I deleted it, restarted Mac, and re-installed the app, but still I cannot open it.... so frustrated. The Evernote web is not as convenient as the app... Please fix this issue.

Most likely within the first week of May, but no promises. It really depends in a number of factors from implementing fixes, features and getting QA sign off. In the other hand we really want to get this update in your hands because you are all great in reporting back to us, so we're doing our best to have this ready asap. Thanks!

Hi here,

Need to let you know that after latest update I've got some issues with the search.
Search works only for some notes. For most of the notes search feature can't find any match. Neither for title, neither for content.
I've noticed that during upgrade there was some kind of migration happening. May be issue is caused by migration or indexing.

Fact: search works for new notes, created after update.

I will appreciate any hints to resolve this issue.

 

[mode1 4]

I use Evernote 7.1 for Mac, along with Evernote Clipper for Mac Chrome 7.1.0. Since migrating to these new versions (last week? - can't recall), I've experienced several annoying issues:

1. When clipping articles from my browser, I'm unable to type in part of a tag that brings up all tags with that word. The tags that appear are only those that begin with the sequence of letters I type in, but this is much less user-friendly when you can't recall exactly how the tag name begins (a great many are sub-sorted with different lead words). Previous versions of Clipper did allow that, and it was vastly better.

2. When using the Evernote application itself, all new clipped articles have a weird formatting that does not correspond to my preferences. For example, my default text is Arial, but the text appears in PT Serif font (I hate serif fonts!). Moreover, the headlines are in 83 point font, which is far too large. And finally, the margins of the clipped article are very narrow - what happened to the wider margins of previous versions?

3. All of this means I have to go in and manually reformat the text to a smaller Arial font.

I hope Evernote is aware of these bugs (at least I hope they recognize them as such) and will correct these in future updates.

Have you tried kicking off a reindex?

In Evernote, hold down the Option key on keyboard, select “Help”, then “Troubleshooting”, then “Recreate Spotlight Search Index”:

Did you even bother to read this thread?

"Most likely within the first week of May, but no promises. It really depends in a number of factors from implementing fixes, features and getting QA sign off."

That is not a confirmation that the issue has been fixed. For over 2 months now this bug has been a work in progress. Maybe next time you should try reading the thread before posting and trying to be sarcastic.

Might as well mention this bug here:

TIF images are no longer displaying inline in notes on mac, which is a serious issue for those of us who use scientific images regularly.

I have exactly the same issue. It's a bug that appeared when 7.1 came out. And I agree that it is super annoying.

I have run into this bug lately as well. Super annoying. Of course new features take priority over existing bugs so I'm sure a fix will be rolled out in 3+ months.

Could you please stop adding those features of nonsense such as the mouse controlled list indentation?

With 7.1 release, TAB key works like *****, ordering list indentation became really painful.

You developers do change line indentation through your mouse?? 

I just want that list indentation function work conventionally,  please give us back that once stable and ordinary Evernote!

No more fancy *****, please.

Hi, that did the trick for me. Fixed my search after installing 7.1.

BUT, why are you hiding the option to re-index with a special key?

[JRA 31]

Is it normal for image files to be missing from clipped articles in 7.1? The images are still present in the web version but missing from 7.1.

When I paste something into evernote it paste it in my note totally out of order from what it was originally written. Are you going to fix that?

@Jason Creadore, thanks for the update.

However, it would be much better if you would start a new Topic, or at least a NEW post in this topic when making changes.

No one gets a notification when you just change an existing post, so we don't know about the update.
