[BUG] Currently using Version 1.12.4, Can't edit my Obsidian Bases Formula Editor and I don't know why? (Issue only appears in my large vault but not in smaller vaults)

Bug reports
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Obsidian
  2. Run Command from Command Palette: “Bases: Insert new base”
  3. Click to Properties > Click Add Formula
  4. Click on the formula editor box.
  5. The app will just stop you from editing the formula box.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Please, follow the Troubleshooting Guide before answering Yes.

  • I used it in the test vault, the issue disappears. Wondering if any plugin caused the issue.
  • I turned off all the extensions. But bug still exists.
  • It’s not theme fault because using default.

Confirmed I am getting this bug.

I think the reason I am getting this issue is because I have too many files in my vault that formula can’t load. Maybe.

Expected result

Just be able to edit the formula after I added formula.

Demo demonstrated how I slowly get frustrated about why the edit formula box can’t being not editable anymore.

It is just not letting me edit the editor box like why?

To rule out the installer version, I’d download and reinstall Obsidian from https://obsidian.md. The latest public version for Windows is Obsidian-1.12.4.exe.

Once that’s installed, open the vault and enable restricted mode (Settings > Community plugins > Restricted mode > Turn on and reload) to see if you still have the issue.

I downloaded the new installer and testing it again (like you told me to). It still is buggy but I can finally edit formulas properly. It ALWAYS disables me editing the formula editor box when I create a new formula property. and then when I try editing that created formula property, it allowed me to edit the formula again.

Okay it just went back to being uneditable again.

My vault currently has: 10441 files and 834 folders.

This issue doesn’t happen in the sandbox vault in both installer versions so it probably has somehthing to do with vault size.

I think I figured out the error, I was doing the formula thing in a window that was like dragged out of the main instance of obsidian so now I got two instances of obsidian, first one being the original one that has access to the settings and vault buttons. While the second one is just a note.

The error is only getting applied to the dragged out note but not in the main instance, the main instance works fine.

w.i.p will send video later.
