HtmlText gets longer and longer

[Andreas Mey]

Hi guys! 

Thanks a lot for your effort to bring the RichEditorEditor to life.

I noticed the following problem. Select the first note inside your sample application. Add and remove a single character Inside the editor. Now leave the Editor and reopen the note. If you inspect the HtmlContent property you will see that it is now prefixed by a <div> and <font> tag. If you repeat the change again the <div> and <font> tags are added another time and so on.

<p>Milk, Eggs, Bread, Fruits, Vegetables</p>

<div><font size=\"3\"><p>Milk, Eggs, Bread, Fruits, Vegetables</p></font></div>

<div><font size=\"3\"><div><font size=\"3\"><p>Milk, Eggs, Bread, Fruits, Vegetables</p></font></div></font></div>

Kind regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

 We’ve reviewed your query and were able to reproduce the scenario both in the Notes sample and in a simplified test case. In the simplified case, we observed that the additional <div> and <font> tags were added only once. This behavior appears to be related to how the editor preserves formatting and font size metadata when the user interacts with the content—especially when typing or modifying text.

In the Notes sample, repeated navigation in and out of the editor seems to trigger the editor to treat the existing content as new input, resulting in the tags being added multiple times. This suggests that the editor is reapplying formatting each time the note is reopened and edited.

We’re currently assessing whether this is expected behavior or something that needs to be addressed. We’ll continue our investigation and provide a more definitive update within two business days. Additionally, we’ll review and update the Notes sample to ensure it handles content restoration more cleanly.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Hi Andreas, 
 
We have fixed the issue where the Tags Nesting in .NET MAUI RTE in .NET MAUI. This fix is included in our latest weekly NuGet release, version 31.2.3, which is now available for download at nuget.org .   

Root Cause: 

The issue originated from wrapping the entire HTML content within <div> and <font> tags to preserve the default font size. However, this wrapping logic was executed repeatedly during each edit and initialization cycle, resulting in the HTML being nested multiple times unnecessarily.
