I use a MAC at the office and Windows at home, and the selection problem occurs on both computers. I've noticed that this problem occurs when selecting text in bullets and not in other cases.

Hi, I have contacted Evernote support about real-time synchronization. This feature allows collaborative work on the same document, which is a nice improvement over the old version. However, there are occasional issues in detecting network connection losses. From my tests, this detection seems more reliable on Windows but slightly less so on Mac. I will await Evernote's response on this matter. Regarding point 4 on text selection, I have recorded three videos: Video 1: Please note three actions: - Action 1: quickly selecting a line results in the initial part of the text not being selected. - Action 2: while selecting a line, I move unintentionally the cursor slightly upward to the preceding line and immediately back down, yet the first line remains selected. - Action 3: while selecting a line, I move unintentionally the cursor slightly downward to the following line, causing the portion of the text at the right to be selected. I understand the technical reason for this selection, but it's overly sensitive. It's difficult for the mouse to maintain a perfect straight line during selection. Video 2: quick text selection. Works one out of three times, part of the text is not selected. Video 3: multi-line selection. Only a portion of the text is selected. Happens frequently when selecting long notes. Please note that I have exaggerated the speed of selection in this video for demonstrative purposes. In practice, I use the same selection speed in all editors. In Evernote, I am forced to redo the selection one out of three times. Even when I select text slowly, I still encounter issues; about one in every five attempts requires a redo. I'd like to highlight that I never experienced these issues in the older version, and I rely on Evernote as a tool for Quick and efficient work. evernote_note1.mkv evernote_note2.mkv evernote_note3.mkv

I agree with you that real-time synchronization is a nice feature. Manual synchronization is a useful complement, but it doesn't replace the real-time sync. The issue is that sometimes Evernote real-time synchronization doesn't always reliably detect internet connection losses. This may not be a major issue when working on a single computer, but it becomes more critical when switching between devices. Having the option to manually force synchronization can provide peace of mind in such situations. Comparatively, software like Dropbox handles real-time sync exceptionally well. When you make changes to a file on a Mac, you instantly see the Dropbox icon indicating the synchronization progress, which changes to green once the sync is complete. I've tested this with Evernote, and the message "All notes have been synced" appears at the bottom of the note. I edit the note, but the message remains the same. I shut down my PC, turn on my Mac, and the latest changes don't appear. In that situation, if I turn on again my PC, i will likely and randomly have the message "We were unable to sync your note". Additionally, as you mentioned that RTE is better. Open Evernote simultaneously on two PCs, make a note edit on the first, and observe the time it takes for these changes to propagate to the second. For someone who values efficiency, it's time wasted waiting for changes to arrive. In the previous version, a simple click on the "Sync" button on both PCs allowed for efficient synchronization between devices. In conclusion, I'll continue to use Evernote Legacy and periodically test the new version. If Evernote forces me to use this new version without addressing the issues, I'll patiently wait to find an alternative software. However, I'll remember that Evernote used to be my best productivity tool before this "evolutionary" version.

Thanks for your reply. I respectfully believe that your conclusion does not help Evernote. Evernote has historically been a valuable tool for many of us, and we hope that the company will consider user feedback and continue to improve the new version to meet the expectations of long-time users. Otherwise, there is a real possibility that a new competitor enter the market and potentially challenge Evernote's leadership position. Change is a part of progress, and to remain competitive, it's crucial for Evernote to listen to its users and adapt accordingly. Let's focus on what matters most: 1) Lets you face the truth, this version is slower. If you use it for a few notes a day, it's fine, but if you use it intensively, you lose effectiveness. Offering a slower version of a well established product doesn't typically represent product evolution. I understand if this is a temporary step in the migration process. 2) Evernote should be robust enough to handle network connectivity issues by automatically re-syncing notes. Losing changes is simply unacceptable. 3) This is not standard behavior on MAC. In most applications, clicking on the icon in the taskbar return you to the last active window. I'm still convinced that Evernote will be able to quickly solve this problem, because of that I no longer use Evernote on a daily basis and during my public presentations. 4) If you try to select text quickly, you'll notice that a portion of it won't be selected. To ensure it works properly, you'll need to select the text slowly. 5) I am talking about drag/drop of bullets. 6) You seem to be insinuating that all you have to do is edit some notes, wait a few seconds and switch off your PC because the synchronization is in real time. But I've tried it and it doesn't work. Evernote doesn't always detect connectivity issues accurately. I've experienced situations where my MAC didn't show the latest updates, and when I returned to my PC, I encountered an "unable to sync" message. Having a manual sync option could be valuable in such situations, allowing users to verify their internet connection and retry syncing when necessary. Best regards,

Hi, I've just updated Evernote for the second time, but I consistently end up switching to the legacy version. I'd like to use the new version, unfortunately, I'm facing several issues with this new version that are hindering my efficiency. I'm a MAC Ventura user with 32 GB of RAM. 1. The new version of Evernote appears to be slower than the old one, and navigation isn't smooth. Moving from one list to another takes significantly more time, due to frequent displays of the saving message. 2. I frequently receive the error message "We were unable to sync your note" which switch the note to read-only mode. The only solution I've found is to manually copy notes. This is unacceptable since I never encountered this issue with the old version. 3. On MAC, when I click on the Evernote icon in the taskbar, I always get redirected to the Window homepage instead of showing the last open window. This experience is frustrating, as most other MAC applications show the last open window when you click on their icon. This is a serious problem when working on several documents simultaneously. 4. Text selection works poorly. In Evernote, text needs to be selected very slowly, or else a portion of it is left unselected. 5. Bullets and enumerations don't work well. Drag/drop in general, I don't even dare try anymore, I start dragging bullet and leave the mouse, the animations continue on the screen with lines going up and down by themselves as if the operations had been buferized. Last time, one of my notes on the move remained hanging on the screen until I relaunched Evernote. 6. I kindly request the return of the "Sync" button. This button allows us to force synchronization and use the latest version of notes when working on multiple computers. For instance, at the office, I force synchronization, shut down my PC, and later continue on my MAC at home. The message "all notes have been synchronized" was supposed to solve this problem, but I did a test, and this message doesn't guarantee that I can switch off my PC. Even if the Internet connection is lost, this message is still displayed. In my opinion, this new version seems to be designed primarily for note-keeping rather than efficient work tools as it used to be. I use Evernote for other features such as storing notes, searching, annotating, presenting, etc., but not being able to work properly annoys me a lot. Please propose an efficient version that works well before forcing us to migrate to the new version. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Thank you so much, it saved my day. I had seen improvements in the new version, but what's the point if Evernote becomes unusable and old useful features disappear! I hope Evernote will fix these bugs and bring back tabs, before trying to force us to upgrade again.

Hi I have been using evernote for more than 10 years, evernote has always been my favorite note tool and my everyday tool. I use it for teaching, work and for personal notes. I collect a lot of notes. The last update is catastrophic because of the bugs and unexplained changes: 1. The worst: each character I type in evernote takes on average 4-5 seconds before appearing in the editor, sometimes up to 10 seconds, it's unbearable. Each time, it freezes the bottom toolbar show "saving in progress". 2. The sync button has disappeared. I used to use this button a lot to make sure I don't have any conflicts when switching from one device to another. Now when I switch devices, sometimes the changes I have made on one device don't always show up anymore on another. Sometimes restarting evernote solves the problem, sometimes nothing happens. In the old version, I just had to click on the "synchronize" button on the first device and do the same on the second device to be sure to work with the latest version of the document. Now it is no more possible. I can't do anything when my notes don't synchronize. 3. Sometimes I open my old notes, the page remains blank. Most of the time, restarting evernote solves the problem. 4. On MAC, when an application has several windows, by clicking on the icon in the taskbar, you access the last opened window. With the new version of evernote, when you click on the icon in the taskbar, you go back to the homepage of evernote and not on the last window, this make very difficult to work on several documents. Why do you change this default behavior of MAC windows? 5. You removed the tabs, which I used to use a lot. I had a window and its tabs for each domain, now I have to get lost in multiple mixed windows. Don't you think we can use evernote as we use google chrome? Do you think about people working on several projects? 6. You removed the text color set from evernote to leave only 14 colors, why this limitation? I've been using many colors a lot in my old notes for years. Now, should I have to redo all my previous notes to standardize them since I can access those colors anymore? I'm a premium user, I'm disappointed by these changes that reduce evernote instead of improving it as promised. Because of that, I have started to use again the classic notepad .txt file. I dream to see evernote working as before. Thanks,
