Hey just FYI for you guys or anyone else that stumbles upon this. I think the issue is largely related to syncing. At least it was for me. Occasionally, Microsoft Todo will either get stuck in the syncing stage or otherwise fail to sync for days on end. This is especially likely if you leave the app open on your desktop for days on end like I do. 

 

Try killing the program and relaunching it. Go into your settings and make sure that you click the sync button there to ensure a sync has occurred. 

 

After this, your notes should stop getting partially deleted. I think something in the app was failing to update the note's internal model with what was changed in the UI. So when you would make two changes back-to-back, the second change ends up being applied to the ORIGINAL note instead of the note resulting from the first update.

 

Hope this helps! :^)
