[BUG] Suddenly can't create/save entries

[MirisWisdom]

Hey Patrick, first of all, well done on creating such a magnificent app -- the UI and functionality is very elegant and versatile!

Describe the bug

This seemingly happened out of nowhere, both on my S23 phone and Tab S9, at separate times.

In essence, the button for creating a new journal/note/task simply stopped working -- see the attached video.

In this situation, when I try to create an entry through the widgets, I do get the dialogue; however, nothing actually gets saved -- saving simply closes the window, and the entered information goes into the abyss.

What didn't work:

1. Restarting the app (both normally and by explicitly ending the process)
2. Clearing the cache through the system settings
3. Using a local, newly-made collection without any entries or sync settings

What solved the issue:

1. Clearing the data -- in effect, resetting the app altogether.

To Reproduce

Tricky to determine the cause, and since I've reset the app, I sadly can't reproduce it. If there's a way to access the logs, I can attach them in here if the issue appears again.

Expected behavior

1. When creating a journal/note/task through the app: entry dialogue should pop up.
2. When creating through the widgets: information gets saved to the collection.

Screenshots

Probably the most mind-numbing recording ever created:

Hi @MirisWisdom !
Thank you for the issue report and detailed description with video!
Indeed I'm really not sure how to investigate this. I have tried things on the emulator and on my phone, but I couldn't reproduce the issue.
There are no logs saved in the background. Only if the app crashes an issue report (with the stack trace) could be sent to Google Play. I will check if there's still something suspicious.
For now I will move this issue to discussions as it's not reproducible but I'd give other users the chance to comment if a similar issue occurs.

Hey Patrick,

The issue appeared again, and this time, I've somehow miraculously determined the cause; see this video:

In essence: if "Create new entries with current location" is on, and the Android "Location" setting is off, then this issue will occur.
