Rem that are moved to top level not easily accessible

I just encountered a bug:
I created a document rem (let’s name it docA) on another document (docB). I then decided to move docA to top level. docA is then inserted in that previous document (docB) as a portal. If I then delete the portal (not the rem) and make a reference to this top level rem (docA) I can not easily open this top level rem.
When I search for it, it brings me to the document where it was contained in before (docB) in the now deleted portal but it is not there of course.
When I click on the reference to the top level rem it also brings me to this document (docB) where it (docA) was contained before.
Only when I right click -> open Rem as document, the Rem (docA) opens and I can access it’s content. However, this right click -> open Rem as document should be the same action as a pure click on the link.

The same does not happen when I create a portal and create a top level rem there and then delete the portal. I can access these rem just like all other rem.

I hope it gets somehow clear what happended as it is this sequence of steps that seems to cause the problem. I guess RemNote still thinks docA is part of docB and does not register the moving to top level.
When I don’t delete the portal, linking to docA after it is moved to top level brings me to the portal and not to the rem document itself, which might be intended but to me is also kind of annoying.

Definitely sounds like a bug to me. This could indeed have something to do with syncing the changes (deletion of the portal to docA within docB). I do know that if the portal to docA is present within docB, trying to click the reference to docA will open docB and that is the default behavior. I agree it is not always convenient. This is not the case if you’ve deleted the portal, though.
Please submit a bug report on the official issue tracker on Github. Since this section of the forum is only for bug discussions among users, the issue tracker is your best bet to have this directly fixed by the team.

Regarding the default behavior I mentioned earlier, feel free to put up a feature request for an option to disable this behavior in the #feedback section of the forum. :slight_smile:
