Do you have the Dueling Fighting Style, or any other features/magic items that might affect your damage?

Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.
Don't be mean. Rudeness is a vicious cycle, and it has to stop somewhere. Exceptions for things that are funny. Go to the current Competition of the Finest 'Brews! It's a cool place where cool people make cool things.

Yes, I have dueling fighting style. That makes sense.
So, is the correct way of calculating my damage bonus STR+dueling mod? I thought prof. modifier would be into play, since my character is proficient with that weapon.

You add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls, not damage rolls.
You don't add your proficiency modifier to damage, just to attack rolls. Only the stat modifier (in this case Strength, so +3) and any other features (in this case Dueling, so +2) apply to damage.

My lv.5 paladin has +3 PROF, +3 STR and +2 DEX. My finesse shortsword deals 1d6+5.
Is the app bugged and picking the lower between the two stats, or could another mechanic be in play?
