Android App when editing soft keyboard switches on and off, characters are inserted inside wiki links and before headings

Steps to reproduce

When editing a note of mild complexity, seems to start around one screen of text which contains wikilinks and headings.

Expected result

Being able to edit the text.

Actual result

The soft keyboard gets switched on and off in a loop. When the keyboard gets hidden, the full text gets marked, and unmarked when the keyboard is shown.

Sometimes characters are indefinitely inserted inside wikilinks and in front of headings and tags. These charcters show as a red dot and a space.

Additional information

I tried disabling all community plugins, bat this didn’t change anything. I reinstalled and it still happens.

It was not from start, but started after some time.

The Samsung keyboard has problems with Obsidian (search the forum for details). Try Google’s keyboard (Gboard?) or a third-party one.

Interesting, that it did not happen right from the start.

I hope it get’s resolved some time, especially first time users getting this may just uninstall again.
