1Password Notes field with "strange" formatting

Hi,
Hi,
There is something really "strange" with the Notes field of 1Password.

Eventually I see an "Italic" in the middle of the text.
I always considered Notes as a Plain Text field, but I guess there is some formatting inside it.
The problem is that some password just "start" this "Italic" formatting and do not show some chars while not editing.

Also, the spaces I insert at the beginning of line are not shown when not editing.

For instance, below you find a small part of a password...
When I am editing, I see this:

lw*ru

When I am not editing, I see this:

lw_ru_ (ru is Italic and * is not shown) (looks like _ is not converted to Italic in this editor)

I have the images to show the case above, but there is no attachment in this discussion.

Why ?
IMHO Notes should be a Plain Text field.
I save a lot of information there and eventually Passwords.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Any news about this fix?

I use Markdown a lot in my GitHub repos, but I just want to use plain text.
IMHO, using Markdown is a little bit too much for password observation: it is not something I will publish, it just an observation.

Thanks

Thanks for reaching out. The issue that my colleague @GreyM1P mentioned in their post has been fixed in the latest version of 1Password for Windows:

We’ve fixed an issue where spaces were not properly formatted after a Secure Note was saved.

Please update if you haven't already to 8.10.58 or later: How to keep 1Password up to date Support

If you still see an issue then please post a screenshot of what you see (make sure that it doesn't contain any sensitive information) and I can help further.

I'm seeing this issue too - I'm on the current build 81100029 for Windows.

I'm getting weird formatting in notes - but it works correctly in the item list. See the photo attached where the item is incorrectly formatted with italics but should just show stars.

Hi @mikegustavson,

To confirm, does toggling Markdown formatting off work for you? You can do so by following these steps:

Open and unlock the 1Password app.
Click your account/collection at the top left of the app and select Settings.
In the "General" section, toggle off Format secure notes using Markdown.

Looking forward to your reply.
