Qownnotes: Whole app freezes when pasting (asterisks in text) markdown from clipboard :(

[dodancs]

Expected behaviour

Open app, add new note, press tick-mark sign (`) 3 times to create a markdown code block, insert text from clippboard, everything works and the text is properly formatted.

Actual behaviour

After pasting a text like this:

.vs
Debug
x64/Debug
*/*.vcxproj.filters
*/*.vcxproj.user
*/*/*.vcxproj.filters
*/*/*.vcxproj.user

The app compeltely freezes.

Steps to reproduce

I found out, that the issue happens when you have the markdown code block, and you want to write */**, it instantly breaks.

Alternatively, try pasting the above mentioned code into a markdown code block.

All settings are default - I only set my language to English and set-up a nextcloud connection.

This means that there is an issue with the markdown processing and maybe it tries to format text inside of a code block? Since an asterisk (*) means italic text? Not sure.

Output from the debug section in the settings dialog

There is no log output (enabled + debug -> nothing relevant appears in the log file

Relevant log output in the Log panel

There is no log output (enabled + debug -> nothing relevant appears in the log file)

Confirmed, thank you for reporting.

@Waqar144, another code block regression.

A quick fix for this would be to use ```sh, meanwhile I will disable comments highlighting in no language code block.

20.1.6

• fixed multiple multiline comments in same code block causing freezes (for #1561, thank you @Waqar144)

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
