Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/293

Description

There are a few issues around checkboxes in descriptions, sometimes the boxes do not check/uncheck.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add a task, create a description
[] test
  1. Click save
  2. Check test
  3. Refresh page
  4. test should be checked, but isn't

Vikunja Version

v0.24.1

Browser and version

Brave

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

Yes

Screenshots

You can see here where I checked a box, saved, then unchecked the box. The result should be that "0 of 2 tasks" and the text should not have strikethrough styling. Refreshing the page will also show this checkbox checked again.

Dear kolaente,
Thank you very much for this helpful tool.
Unfortunately, I stumble across the bug described here almost every day and often lose information (checked checkbox) as a result.
Would it perhaps be conceivable - as a kind of work-around - to automatically reload/refresh the page after saving until this bug can be fixed?

I think that would be possible. I'll look into it, but happy to merge a PR if someone wants to have a stab at it.

https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/837 is another issue with the same root cause.

Probably the same bug a bit differently:

  1. Add task with checkboxes in the description
  2. reload the page with the open task
  3. Check the box
  4. Uncheck the box (here the line still has a line through it though it shouldn't)
  5. Reload the page with the open task
  6. The box you unchecked is still checked

Hi, has anything changed with this issue?

Also if you check/uncheck them in editing mode, everything works as expected (but number of completed tasks updates only when you save).
