Tasks without section sometimes still display a section on the list command

[andreoliwa]

Hi!

There are tasks without a section that still display a section when I use the list command.

This bug doesn't happen with all tasks.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new project called "Example".
2. Add a task called "Some task" without a section.
3. Run todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example': the project shows as #Example. ✅
4. Create a new section called "My Section".
5. Move "Some task" to "My Section".
6. Run todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example': the project shows as #Example/My Section. ✅
7. Move "Some task" out of "My Section", back to the "(No Section)" area.
8. Run todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example': the project still shows as #Example/My Section. ❌
9. The correct output is displayed with the show command.

In the details below: a (clean) transcript of my terminal output and some screenshots.

$ todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example'

$ todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example'
4693482710 p4  #Example  Some task

$ todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example'
4693482710 p4  #Example/My Section  Some task

$ todoist sync && todoist list -f '#example'
4693482710 p4  #Example/My Section  Some task

$ todoist sync && todoist show 4693482710

I found out that removing the local cache is a temporary solution for this problem:

$ rm -rvf ~/.cache/todoist
/Users/aa/.cache/todoist/cache.json
/Users/aa/.cache/todoist

So maybe it's something related to loading or saving empty/null sections in the cache. 🤔

Yes, you are right about that, It's a bug that will happen when there are null sections. Pull request #162 is to solve this issue.
