Time and time again, I observe that ePIM seems to have great difficulties in saving text formatting permanently or re-displaying it.
In many paragraphs, both for long and short notes, spaces are ignored when retrieved, words are moved to a new line, or in the worst case partially or completely deleted. This seems to be the case fairly often when special characters, punctuation marks, and formatting features are used within the text to line up a bulleted list. The indentation of whole sentences or paragraphs messes up the formatting of the entire text in ways that require a lot of effort to restore notes to a readable state after using this function. Marking text with color highlights or backgrounds does show up before syncing to the cloud (Google Drive) but is lost when revisited. Thus, this function seems to be superfluous.
The problems described are at present permanently reproducible, which is why I consider 3 possible sources for failure:
- Bad programming
Problems with the syncing process
Google Drive
Is there a solution or one in the pipeline?
P.S.: I just found out that images saved locally on the mobile (JPG format) also disappear from the landing page they were placed on (often including the text paragraph right beneath it) after saving and syncing to the cloud as soon as the relevant entry gets reloaded.
