This should have been fixed by 4920f648164140f22aab82009c7edbf52093197e

I can only reproduce this, if I jack-hammer my mouse button, so I'm not sure how often such a problem ever occurs. IMO, not a very good use of our time.

I will fix this

So according to me, there is 2 way to fix this issue:

  1. First, count empty note inside the notebook and if empty not is present then do not allow the user to create another empty note
  1. Second, avoid rapid clicking on New note button so that no empty new note will be created

@tessus your thoughts on this?

I think then this issue should be closed

I leave this for Laurent to decide.

I think the main problem is that note/to-do creates and then disappears without any warning or message. So as amitsin6h said, there should be warning or new note/to-do should be creating. And you don't have to spam really fast to accomplish this behavior.

No need to be fixed indeed. New notes disappear if they aren't modified.
