Describe the bug
I enabled Device Credentials security in the Notes app to prevent accidentally opening notes by touching homepage widget. However when I touch the widget now and scan my fingerprint - the note opens as blank and the data is gone and I have to roll back the version in Nextcloud Files to get it back.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enable Device Credentials in Security options of the Notes app
- Exit the app
- Create a homepage Notes widget
- Touch any note in the widget
- Device will ask for its biometric/pattern/pin lock
- Unlock
- The note that will load will be empty and the data will be gone
Expected behavior
The note should display normally

Thank you for the report, this is indeed a serious issue, i'll have a look as soon as possible.
No problem, a stacktrace is an error log that appears in case the app crashes - Since you didn't experience an actual crash, you can't insert a stacktrace of course.

Workaround
For anyone else running into this issue: Hit the three dots menu in the top right corner and choose Cancel. This should prevent data loss in case you don't have the versions app enabled.
