Dropbox Paper document lose formatting on Android
For the last couple of weeks the Paper app on Android has been acting up, I have several documents with formatting, mainly bullet list and pictures, when I tried to edit a document already in Paper I...
- I changed default keyboard from Samsung to gboard which resolved the issue outright. Really interesting on a Samsung device? So what is the default keyboard & why is it apparently bound so much with Google?
It affects all documents already in my DROPBOX and even creating new documents, I uninstall both apps PAPER and BROPBOX, even that I just have issues with PAPER app.
See attached screenshots, the first one is the existing document, the second one is when I tried to edit it on my phone I automatically lose all formatting.
I received this from Dropbox in email. I've completed the screen recording and sent to them and indicated you were having same issue, but wanted to share with you to perhaps do this as well.

Hi,
Thanks for trying that, and letting me know it didn't work!
Are we able to get a screen recording showing the issue as it happens?
I can then bring this to our engineering teams.
Record your phone screen:
Find screen recordings:
You should then be able to attach the recording to an email reply.
If you upload it to Dropbox.com, you can share a link to the recording in your reply, so long as it's set to be visible to everyone.
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Aiden

- Hi LuciLouWho, was the issue fixed for you? I haven't had any luck, still can't edit my existing documents or create new ones with bullet list of pictures. I did a screen recording like you mentioned showing the issue, but I can't submit it on this conversation using my phone. To upload pictures or videos I need to do it on my laptop, please let me know if you have better luck.
I submitted it via email to my tech Aiden, now he's indicating this:
Thanks for sending that through, I've raised this with our engineering teams to investigate.
Can you reply with the community article regard this one?
I can link that into the task I've raised with our engineering teams.
Looking forward to your reply.Regards,
AidenI'll await to hope the engineering teams can figure it out and attempt to get the video screen shot onto my desktop computer so I can insert it here. UGH! Getting quite upset with all of this.
Aiden, helping me via email, requested I send a screen shot recording of the issues, but that is not a valid format to attach, jpeg only! I did send it via the email to him. Please assist!

Hey LuciLouWho, thanks for the nudge on this.
I've found your ticket on our system and passed your comments on there, so we can have all the information under one place.
Our experts will be getting back to you soon.
Also, sorry to hear this persists for you JGHouston - would you like me to send you an email to investigate further?- Walter I contacted chat support a few days ago this is my ticket #15859522, I've been emailing Olivia on this issue, but no fix to my issue yet, I even emailed a screen recording showing how the PAPER app is acting. Unfortunately I'm not in front of my laptop all day, that is why the phone app is so important for my line of work. Please get this fix as soon as possible.
