Problem assigning a link to bullet

Hi,
I have never seen this issue before --

1. Create a new empty bullet
2. Paste a link into this bullet.

The line of the bullet stays blank, and the pasted link is dropped one line below.

• Bullet 1
• Bullet 2
•  

        http://some link to Youtube

•  

This only seems to be happening with YouTube links.

If I do the same in the web version it looks good, however the desktop version still displays incorrectly.

I am using:
Mac OS Monterey 12.5.1
Workflowy Version 1.4.977 (1.4.977.383)
Embed video in settings is off.

  Hi David!

  Would you try uninstalling your desktop app and then downloading and installing again?:

  I am seeing something similar. I've uninstalled Workflowy and reinstalled it (version 22.08.23.0950 not the Beta release). I've made a short Loom that demonstrates the issue I see. Feel like it's related to what David has raised.

  (After the video, I set Vim to show non-printing chars and none appeared at the start of that URL line)

  Ben’s video above is a perfect recreation of the issue I raised.
  
  I have uninstalled / reinstalled.  The issue remains.
  
  Thank you Ben for your clarification.

  Hi folks!

  This is a recognized bug that the team will hopefully have fixed by tomorrow's release...

  Just updated Workflowy on the app using latest MacOS. The bug above remains with YT links.

  MacOS 12.5.1 - Workflowy: Version 1.4.1050 (1.4.1050.448)

  Hi Endre,

  We fixed some issues but not all and it persists for many... so the team has gone back to the drawing board with this bug...

  Hi Workflowy and everyone else,

  I've had a quick look into this and have found that the issue seems to be with the CSS. An element has been set to:

  display: block !important;

  When it should not be. Bear in mind I don't have access to the codebase (of course), so there may be other complexities other than what I can see when inspecting the element in my browsers. I also took a before and after screenshot to help demonstrate what I am talking about (the yellow arrows point to the relevant parts):

  BEFORE:

  

  AFTER:

  

  As you can see, by commenting out the display as block parameter, the YouTube link is now correctly aligned to the bullet. Please have a look at this Workflowy devs and I hope that this might be a simple fix for the issue.

  By the way, I love your product and could not live without it! But I am waiting for the day when we can add code blocks for our notes as well.

  Best Regards,

  Roland

  Hi folks,

  The team found the bug and it should be fixed on beta:

  https://beta.workflowy.com/downloads 

  ... and beta.workflowy.com

  The production rlease should be on Tuesday :-)

  Thank you.
  
  Also, may I add another request for Code Blocks as in Roland's post.
