I'm now the second John on this thread :) I believe I'm seeing the same thing that John Cesta is seeing. I've used MLO for years and know that this isn't the intended functionality so I believe it's a new bug (I recall it happening only in the past month or so). It's either in the cloud sync services or the iPhone or Windows App (although it looks like John isn't using the iPhone app but the Android ones).
Here's what happens: 1 - I'll move items from my inbox to be subtasks of other projects. The inbox will be completely empty. 2 - I'll sync with the cloud 3 - And a point in the future I'll return to my inbox and all the tasks I moved are back 4 - Moving them makes the inbox empty. 5 - Syncing again and the tasks are back. 6 - Sometimes when this happens the tasks are phantom tasks only in the iPhone version but not the desktop version. For example, I'll have 10 tasks in my iPhone Inbox and 0 on my desktop app inbox. I will add a new task on my iPhone inbox making it 11 and that new task will sync over to the desktop app, where I'll now have 1 - proving to me that syncing is still trying to work. But those phantom 10 on the iPhone inbox (which were originally moved in the past but came back) are never seen by the desktop version. The frustrating thing is this happens only sometimes. I have created new MLO local files and new Cloud files and for awhile everything works correctly. Then after awhile the issue described above happens again. I installed iPhone version 2.8.0 with excitement hoping this would fix the issue but it didn't (or at least it didn't clean up the corrupt state I was now in). MLO is amazing, the best task app ever and I have no doubt you'll figure this out soon and fix it (if it is a bug and not some odd user error I'm not aware of). So thanks in advance.
