A weird way to bypass locked state of items and make edits in them, which also leads to sync stuck until you reopen DTTG4

Hello! Please, have a look at the bug in the video below:

The bug is especially dangerous for locked HTML files as DTTG4 for some reason converts HTMLs into formatted notes after viewing them in the app or after adding via the Share Sheet menu (this was discussed previously in Html is treated as formatted note in DTTG 4 iOS):

out of topic: what app do you use to create this nice screen-videos of ios and macos simultanously?

Equally off topic: Where do you see the video? I tried three browsers and none of them displays anything. FF shows an error message, Chrome complains about a CORB error.

Did you try opening the link below the video in a browser (or directly in Dropbox, if you have it)? It works for me on iPad.

That does indeed work. So it might be discourse that’s blocking the video somehow.

It’s built-in macOS apps provided by Apple: Screenshot App + iPhone Mirroring.

Yeah, sorry, Discourse automatically displays Dropbox video links in the embedded video player, which for some reason doesn’t work.

Confirmed and noted as a bug.
