I having an issue when adding new cards. Reproduce steps: 1. Create decks named `bdmg`, `bdmg::eng_soft`, `bdmg::estatistica` 2. Create decks named `bug_reproduce`, `bug_reproduce::eng_soft`, `bug_reproduce::estatistica` 3. Select deck `bug_reproduce::estatistica` and add a new card 4. It end up in `bdmg::eng_soft` deck for some reason.

I encountered the issue while adding a new card to `bdmg::estatistica` and it also end up in `bdmg::eng_soft`. ---

What option do you have chosen in Tools \> Preferences \> Editing \> Default deck? > **[Preferences - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/preferences.html#editing-1)** > > Anki's user manual. Anki is a flashcard program that makes learning easier. ---

In your video, you created additional decks, but you never selected them. When you expanded the `bdmg` deck at the end, you can see that the `eng_soft` subdeck was still selected. That’s your current deck, so that’s where cards are being created by default. (See the link.) Admittedly, it does strike me as a little odd that _manually_ changing the deck in the Add Note window doesn’t have any impact. So, the other thing you should check is your note type – make sure it doesn’t have a Deck Override turned on. [Card Templates - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/intro.html) If Override is off, we’ll have to wait and hear from the devs whether that’s expected behavior. In the meantime – 1. Is this only happening with newly created decks? Or are you seeing the same behavior with already-existing decks? 2. If it’s the same, run Tools \> Check Database – and then try this again with existing decks. ---
