I am using Joplin 1.0.170 on Desktop and latest version on Android

If I do encryption the Synchronization status goes crazy like always going to loop:  
Decrypting 1/3  
Decrypting 2/3  
Decrypting 3/3

And this repeats forever and is annoying in both Android and Desktop  
I have noticed also that in logs it says that the files are too large to do the decryption. (believe me are not large at all , barely 10 lines of notes)

If I disable encryption it does the same

**BUT**

if I delete everything and start all over without encryption everything is working fine and synchronization doesn’t go crazy

I would love to use encryption but that synchronization/blinking it drives me crazy and cant write notes that way…
