Bug 1394096

Earlier today I upgraded my F23 installation to F25. Shortly after resolving the usual nvidia driver issues and finally logging into GNOME, I noticed that bijiben was no longer in my "Favorites" sidebar. I tried starting it and after 6-7 crashes it finally appeared, but none of my 98 notes was there. The notes themselves still existed in .local/share/bijiben, but bijiben just came up empty. I tried searching, got no results and when I returned to the main screen there was this "you have no notes" or something similar message in the main window. I tried logging out and back in, restarting gnome-shell that seems to take care of a few minor glitches and even rebooting, but still no notes (when bijiben decided not to crash that is). Finally, I wrote a new note, returned to the main screen and it was the only one there. I closed bijiben, restarted it, and now all my notes are back (though they don't want to get organized into notebooks, never did).
If a user doesn't know about the internals of the program, i.e. where the actual xml notes are stored, they might perceive it as data loss.

Also, when the notes are opened, they lack their background color, which makes it quite hard to read when using the dark theme and the fonts are black.

I upgraded directly to bijiben-3.21.2-2.fc25.x86_64.

Was the removal of the launcher from the sidebar intentional, or was that also a bug?

Is there a plugin for gnote that allows importing notes from bijiben? I could not find one.

The following appeared in my journal when I finally managed to get bijiben started:
