Open the Find/Replace bar. (on Mac I did option-command-F)
Use the bar or don’t, the issue happens either way.
In top right of Find/Replace bar, click on little X to “Exit search”.
The bar does not go away.
I also tried the ESC key. That didn’t work either.
I had to quit Obsidian and restart, then the bar was gone.
Expected result
I expected the Find/Replace bar to go away.
Actual result
The Find/Replace bar stays right there.
Forever.

I am very confused. I thought you wanted me to post a screen recording of it happening on my computer, into the sandbox vault. (I didn’t understand how you would be able to see the same sandbox vault that I see. )
It doesn’t happen in the sandbox vault, only in my personal vault.
How do I post any video recording to you? When I tried via the Forum, it said it did not accept video files.
I don’t have any plugins or themes. I literally just started using Obsidian a few days ago! I don’t even know how to install plugins or themes yet. I’m using Light mode, if that makes any difference! Probably not.
Maybe I’ll delete the application, re-download it and try over. Could that help? Any other suggestions?
@WhiteNoise I can reproduce this in 0.15.4 (0.14.15) on Windows 10.
rona has “Legacy Editor” turned on. If I turn on Legacy Editor, I also can’t close the search modal. Reproducible in the sandbox vault too.
@rona I suggest you turn OFF “Use legacy editor” in the editor preferences. Especially if you’re new to Obsidian, I suggest you give the new editor a try.
The new editor means that preview is visible in edit mode, right? I don’t care for that, I like them separate. At least now I know that’s the culprit. But still - I’d like to escalate that bug, b/c it shouldn’t be happening w/legacy editor either, right?
There is no “escalating bugs” - this is a forum for community support. It might get fixed soon, and you might have to wait a while.
Yeah the new editor is live preview. But in the new Live Preview mode, you can click on options and choose “Toggle Live Preview / Source mode”. Source mode is where you just see your code. The Legacy Editor won’t always be supported.
If you moved your vault, you just have to open it again. Open the vault switcher. Click “Open”, go open your vault at the new location.
