FYI - This bug has now been fixed in Evernote 10.81.4. "Fixed an issue causing the Notebook's name not to show when trying to rename it from the sidebar."

I agree this is annoying. I assume you are renaming from the notebook name in the sidebar. If however you rename using the main notebook list (click on notebook in the sidebar) you get the expected behaviour. Weird.

@Mike P Thank you Mike. You are correct. Plus your suggestion of using the main notebook list is a good workaround! Perhaps Evernote will fix this in a future release.

I'm using the latest Mac desktop version (10.72.2). I noticed that when i rename an existing notebook the input box comes up blank. In previous versions the input box had the current name of the notebook in it, which made it much more convenient to change the name, especially if you were only making a slight modification of the name.

@agsteele Yes, thank you for teaching me about Note History!

@agsteele Thank you!!! Per your suggestion i used the Note History function and restored the version from 12/28/23 and the note contents, along with encryption is back! I am in your debt sir.

I also learned something very useful from you reply and that is about Note History.

@agsteele I exclusively use the Evernote desktop app and always keep it up to date. I wonder if during one of the updates the encrypted text was deleted.

Also, i duplicated the Note to see if that did anything, but the duplicated note behaved the same (just the title, no apparent content).

Yep - that's exactly what i used to see. Now, nothing.

I can't even get to this menu. All i can see is the note title. In fact, i can not type into the Note field, which tells me that i have lost the data that was there and Evernote no longer recognizes there was a password required.

This is how encryption used to work:

To encrypt text in an Evernote note, you can do the following:

Open the Evernote desktop app

Open a note

Highlight the text you want to encrypt

Right-click and select Encrypt Selected Text

Set a passphrase

Click Encrypt 

This is the only note for which i had encrypted the data. I have tried from the desktop app and from the online app.

Sorry, i may have used an incorrect description in my original post. I "encrypted" the text inside the note. Once you encrypted the data, you could click on the note but you could not see the contents unless you entered the "encryption" password. I apologize that i can't tell you the exact wording but the choice to unlock the note's contents no longer appear and i simply can't remember the wording.

I created an encrypted note a few years ago. I occasionally open it using the encrypted password. However today i no long get a prompt for the encryption password. I don't know how long this has been and issue but i am guessing sometime within the last month or two.

Thanks in advance!

Restarting Evernote worked for me. Thank you gazumped.
