On Android, I was trying to split my contacts with contexts by using the ‘@’ sign as context and I was experimenting with the symbol ‘&’ for contacts. So my tag became ‘&Wife’ as it sounds like, I need to discuss this thing with “and Wife”
This caused the tag to vanish, and syncing to stop on both Android and Desktop as I did not see any new labels appear. I forced a clean pull on Desktop from the server and this is what I am presented with:
I assume now I can corrupt the encrypted sync by introducing certain characters in the tags or text, and that they might corrupt the whole database. I did make a backup, and will probably delete all sunc history if possible so that I am not getting problems in the future, but it seems some sanitizing is needed from the client or escaping of special symbols that might corrupt the encrypted string
