2. click on any tag that will display the notes attached to this tag.
3. choose a note from the note list.
4. start editing the note.

current behavior:

- the note closes

expected:

here is how to produce it:

Doesn't happen for me.  
Does your branch have any of your changes? If so, try without them.

Nope, I pulled the latest changes and switched to dev. I'll try to reproduce it again.

I'm on dev, i have run `yarn install` from the project root..  
then `yarn watch` from `joplin/packages`..  
then i run `yarn start` from `app-desktop`

but i was able to produce it, i suspect maybe its like a broken `note` entitiy or smth, so i created a new note and tried to reproduce it.. i still was able to...

well, if you're able to reliably reproduce it you can try debugging  
i pulled the latest dev and still don't see the issue

I can't seem to reproduce this with tags, but I can consistently reproduce it with notes in the conflicts folder.

I don't know if that's related but `yarn watch` should be launched from the root, not from /packages
