Bear 2.0.6 update squashes a lot of bugs
2 min readAug 10, 2023
I wrote about Bear 2 a couple of weeks ago and I noted that Bear was having issues with the iPad Magic Keyboard and that I had filed a bug report:
That said, I have noticed some issues on the iPad with the Magic Keyboard: 1. Right-clicking selected text with the trackpad doesn’t bring up the right-click menu. I submitted a bug report. 2. When selecting text to create a link the Done button doesn’t recognize the input from the Magic Keyboard.
With the 2.0.6 update that has all been fixed along with lots of other fixes:
- Updating how the links behave on iOS: when not in edit in a note the links are tappable (would open the link) and interactive (e.g. long press to have a link preview). When in edit the links are not interactive anymore, and the right-click menu shows an “Open Link” “Edit Link” and “Show Preview” items to interact with links
- Footnotes links work again (scroll from the footnote to the definition and vice versa)
- Adjustments for the search results highlighting when the app is restored from background
- Fix for copy as rich text attachments
- Editor enachments for asian text input systems
- Fix for checkboxes mismatching between Bear on AppleWatch and iPhone
- Right-click menu on links now stays open
- The app now force the iPadOS keyboard shorcuts to be visible.
- Fixed Editor issues with blockquote, code blocks, numbered lists and URLs.
- Improved support for Asian scripts
- Fixes for the tel:// URL protocol
- Fixes for some editor crashes
- Some German localisation fixes
- Fix for bear files importer edge cases
- Fixes for sync related crashes
- Fixed Rich Text exporter issue with nested tags
- Improved the HTML to markdown tables and links conversions
- Autocompletion panel
- Solving crash issues with Chinese input in the Notes List search field
- Various fixes for the ENEX importer
- Notes generated with the webclipper are now excaped by involuntary tags
- Fixed preference close button on iOS 14
- Improved memory usage of single note widgets
- PDF exports now uses a darker text color more suitable for printing
