There’s something broken with template syncing, but I dunno if the bug is in Anki (@70ee28b) or AnkiDroid (2.17a8).
Anki → AnkiDroid: CSS changes no longer sync.
AnkiDroid → Anki: CSS changes on seem to sync.
Anki → AnkiDroid: Changes to a card template HTML (either side) do show rendered on AnkiDroid, but not in its template editor. It somewhere keeps a separate copy of the prior version and will overwrite the changes from desktop if you edit this old one.
AnkiDroid → Anki: Changes to a card template HTML seem to sync.
edit: Well… after an unrelated reupload of the collection (after a note type change), somehow the sync seems to work again. Though I did notice that the styling for <a> tags is no longer the same on Anki & -Droid.
I’m having an issue with pasting text from websites, the formatting doesn’t seem to be stripped anymore. I have the option “Paste without shift key strips formatting” turned on. This used to work pretty well, but in the beta version I still get tons of formatting when pasting text.
Moreover, this can create strange filtered decks behaviour: I’ve created a filtered deck with cards selected by relative overdueness. When rebuilding the deck all review cards are pulled before same-day learning cards - even when same-day learning cards are a day or more overdue.
There is a bug that is definitely caused by the latest release and it is that Anki now makes me paste the contents that I paste from website alongside with their original HTML formatting on that website which is very annoying.
This did not happen at all in all the previous releases, and Anki used to keep the cell padding and cell positioning from tables (which I do find helpful) at most.
Ctrl +shift+v and checking the remove formatting option in preferences do not solve this problem and I wish this could be resolved quickly.
Review Heatmap appears twice in your add-on list. Maybe you have two different versions of the add-on installed? I would try disabling them and see if there is any improvement.
Three issues, the first one seems serious as it could affect the collections of many users:
(Serious) issue 1: Badly formed merged note types
A user recently sent me a collection that contained a badly formed note type which seems to be a combination of both a cloze and a regular notetype (Rechtsfrage). It still had the type “cloze” but somehow contained 7 different card types. I don’t even know how it is possible to add more than one card type for clozes, but somehow it happened and if I had to guess I would say that this was caused by the new “merge notetypes” option, which was activated in this collection.
Both of the notetypes “Fragenfolge” and “Lückentext+” were (wrongly) combined with the note type “Rechtsfrage” for some reason and this failed. It also produced many empty cards.
For reference: “Fragenfolge”, “Lückentext+” and “Rechtsfrage” are three distinct notetypes that should not be combined into one as they are quite distinct. Here is a short deck to illustrate what they should look like regularly.
@Rumo : Would be grateful if you could take a look. Also feel free to DM me if you need more info. The user is a beginner btw. I’m sure he didn’t manually change stuff in the database.
Issue 2: Explosion of note types
When people send me their collections they now sometimes look like this. Cleaning this up manually is quite a bit of work:
