I have reported this personally, but trying it again to see if there are any other people with this issue. The left is Bear 1.0 and the right is Bear 2.0.
This is a bit unfortunate but it is the correct thing to do while migrating.
In Bear 1 we didn’t have support for multi-paragraph list items, so people who did put text just after a list didn’t mean to have it included in the previous list item, and the only solution that we have during migration is to add a newline to separate the text from the list.
We just don’t have the information about the intention of the user in Bear 1, so we have to opt for a generic solution.
That is sad. Almost all my notes are intended for multiline but I understand the concern. I guess I will do some manual shifting for regularly opened notes.
