Adding new notebooks with the sidebar has a non trivial hierarchy

Bug report

There is a UI issue, I experienced it for the first time when i opened the app in my mac and it seems to go away with some use, but I also found a way to replicate it again so that we can hopefully fix it. So here goes: it is a nesting issue in the notebooks in the sidebar. When I try to make a new notebook, the hierarchy is a bit off

Info

  • Platform: macOS
  • Platform version: Catalina 10.15.7
  • App Version: 5.1.1

Reproduce

first time users

  • open the app
  • on the sidebar, you see the notebooks menu, under that you see the “default” first notebook
  • when you try to add a new notebook by clicking the plus, the new notebook gets saved within the first notebook.
  • this goes away the second time you try creating a new notebook

existing users

  • open the app
  • delete all the existing notebooks except the default one
  • try deleting the first notebook as well and you should get a prompt
  • now try adding a new notebook, the hierarchy is a bit off again as well

Hi Athul,

Thank you for reporting.
What do you mean “a bit off”?
When you created a new notebook, does it go under the first notebook?
And, do you mean it only happens when you have only the default notebook?

what i mean is:

  • first note book
    • newly added notebook 1
  • newly added notebook 2
  • newly added notebook inf

does this make things clear?

When you created a new notebook, does it go under the first notebook?

precisely and the next ones added follow normal order

And, do you mean it only happens when you have only the default notebook?

yep. I thought i was using it wrongly, but it seems like it is a persisting problem

thanks for the resp :slight_smile:

Thanks for the clarification!
I’ll try reproducing it.
