plarkinjr 14 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I don't know exactly when it started but recently it has become very annoying... When you click on a note to edit it, the line of format tools (font, bullets, indent, attachment, etc) appears.... MOST of the time. However, that bar randomly disappears while editing, being replace with "Created, Updated, URL" stats that normally only show when you have clicked in an element other than in the note editor. What's up with that? I don't think it did this before the last update.I'm on "5.6.4.4632 (272632) Public"
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted October 9, 2014 Level 5* Posted October 9, 2014 I saw this once, and once only a day or two ago. Wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing, and couldn't reproduce. I just clicked away, I think on that note in the note list, and then clicked back, and the editing toolbar came bar. Seems like a glitch, but getting a sequence that reproduces it faithfully would be really helpful to the devs.

When it happens I click in the title field and then back into the note field to get the toolbar back. There is more discussion here. Seems like a glitch, but getting a sequence that reproduces it faithfully would be really helpful to the devs.This post provides a consistent reproduce sequence, at least on my system.
Level 5* CalS 5,311 Posted October 9, 2014 Level 5* Posted October 9, 2014 Happens to me frequently as well. Typically I have to scroll up to the title, click and return to the body to get the toolbar. Has anyone submitted a ticket?

That's pretty reproducible for me, too.

jmedlin 1 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Jefito - Any responses to the support ticket? I just installed the latest version (Evernote for Windows 5.8.4.6736 Beta) and am still having the issue.
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted February 26, 2015 Level 5* Posted February 26, 2015 I got a response ages ago. The first tech said that they couldn't reproduce it, but they escalated it up the chain, and the second tech said that they'd give it to the QA folks to reproduce and then send it to the devs to schedule a fix. It's a pretty minor bug for me, so I never followed up, but it's still there. Detailed steps to reproduce:* Select a new note view (snippet, card or list)* Click on a shortcut* Click in the note area of the first note in the resultant list* The editing toolbar appears as expected* Click on a shortcut (can be the same shortcut you used before)* Click in the note area of the first note in the resultant list* This time, the editing toolbar doesn't appear; if you then click to the title area, and then back to the note area, the editing toolbar comes back The above seems to be very consistent on my system, which is 5.8.4.6736
flga84 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 same problem here. Windows 8, version 5.8.6.7519. I can reproduce the bug using the steps above.
Level 5* CalS 5,311 Posted May 9, 2015 Level 5* Posted May 9, 2015 There is a way to lock the editing toolbar, it is a registry hack, set (DWORD) "AutoShowNoteToolbar" to 0. You can still get to URL and create/modify dates through the information icon. The hack adds Show Note Info and Show Editing Tool Bar to the View menu. Works for since I don't use the info fields that often. FWIW.
eleeese 0 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 It seems to happen to me most frequently after I've pasted something external in the note. This was the only consistency I could find in when it happens. But clicking into the title area and back into the note does seem to resolve it.
