Description

Basically the same problem as described in https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/1763, but with a different error message:
When saving after editing the description of a task an error is shown which leads to the webapp becoming unresponsive. Only a page reload restores functionality of the app. Fortunately, the changes of the description get saved though.

No error in the console, but a red notification in the bottom left appears for 2s:

Cannot read properties of null (reading 'insertBefore')

Thanks for your amazing work on this app! It's really a great help to organize my busy schedule and survive :)

Chromium Version 142.0.7444.134 (Official Build)

Seems to be a regression introduced in c3b2bb92eb - points to an upstream issue.

Fixed in https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/pull/1806 (for now), please check with the next unstable build (should be ready for deployment in ~30min, also on try).
