There is a good news!! I finally found what was causing the issue.

This bug re-appeared again when I renamed a note in my notebook and changed its case e.g. Home -> HOME.

The culprit was DROPBOX!! Zim still rocks and there is no bug in Zim that is causing the issue.

What is happening is that after changing the case of the note, the folder and the text file corresponding to that note also change their case. Dropbox has problems with this because OS like Windows don't recognize files with same name but different cases. So, Dropbox renames such files/folders by adding a string to their names : "Case Conflict".

See here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/46658/has-ubuntu-gone-case-insensitive
OR in the official dropbox FAQs: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145

So, if anyone is using Dropbox to sync their ZIM notebooks, please be cautious and do not rename your notes by only changing their case.

If you absolutely want to change the case of some of your note, first change it to something else, and then to the old name with case-changed, e.g. Home -> Random -> HOME.
