1. Create a new task
2. Enter a small paragraph of normal text
3. On the next line, enter "- a test task"
4. Hit return so it gets converted to a task
5. Move the cursor after the 'a' in "a test task"
6. Backspace a few times until you are in the paragraph of plain text. The paragraph should now begin with ordinary text and end with "test task" in clickable blue text.
7. Move to the end of "test task" and hit return.
8. Type a few short tasks. They will show up without arrows. Also try entering "- another test task" and hitting return. Various weird things are now possible.

Using backspace when editing task can promote text as subtask and causes erratic behavior

Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed

Bug description:
If one opens a task that has text, then subtasks, and one deletes the first subtask with backspace and then backspaces up into the paragraph, all text entered at the end of that paragraph and subsequent lines will be considered a subtask. This causes many problems with the main window, and it becomes possible to create subtasks with no title that show up as blank lines in the main window, and subtasks that begin with the → character by entering "- test". Selecting all this text and deleting it then cause the selected subtasks to become tasks often with unusual names, sometimes the name will be the tags given to the subtask.
