Have you ever tried typing in a blank chapter or at the end of a chapter in Bibledit?

\id GEN
\h Genesis
\toc2 Genesis

Given the Genesis chapter 0 above, when I try to type a new line following the \toc2 line and add text on that new line, Bibledit begins to work very weirdly in the Android client. (I haven't tested the Cloud version yet.)

Adding a new line and then typing in that new line is unsettling. At one point the new line text was suddenly erased and replaced by 'new__line'.
Sometimes just a space at the end of a newly-typed text will disappear, and sometimes other text before that space will disappear.

I noticed this flaw when I tried to use Bibledit to write the text for a FRT (front matter) file. I had to give up and go to Google Docs to create the file.

My concern is that new users might create a chapter for a new project and try to enter the text directly
\c 1
\s and then find out that their text keeps disappearing as they type. They will immediately give up on using Bibledit.

I believe that I may have been partly to blame for Bibledit so strictly watching the end of a line, immediately deleting any stray spaces. (Sometimes more than a stray line-ending space is deleted!) I know that I brought up something about that before.

Here are the email errors that my test generated.
Incomplete sentences show when Bibledit suddenly deleted stuff and I repeatedly tried to type something that made sense.
