Bug Description

I've been adding to a single document over the course of a couple weeks, working on it both from the AppFlowy desktop app in Windows 11 Pro (version 23H2, build 22631.3296) and the desktop app in macOS Sonoma 14.4. Often, the next time I launch AppFlowy on the device where I didn't last make changes, a large amount of the last content I added to the bottom of the document (both text and images) has been moved to the very top. Nothing has been overwritten, but instead pushed down to make room for the block of content that's now at the top.

How to Reproduce

Install and run AppFlowy on a Windows machine and a Mac, and add maybe 10K worth of words to a single document to start (the document that's causing me issues is nearly 20K words, but the issue started a while before I got to that point). Then open AppFlowy on the opposite machine and you may see that some of the bottom content has been moved to the top.

Doing so on two separate machines with the same OS may also reproduce the issue, but I haven't tested that.

Expected Behavior

AppFlowy should retain document formatting and structure no matter where the app is launched.

Operating System

Windows 11 Pro, macOS Sonoma

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.52
