Clicking pdf in split view does not focus pdf

Steps to reproduce

  1. open obsidian sandbox vault
  2. create new folder
  3. put a PDF in the vault (I placed mine at root folder)
  4. open the PDF in a new tab. there are now two tabs: Start Here and pdf.
  5. click and drag pdf tab to open in split view
  6. click on text of Start Here tab to focus the tab
  7. click on the body of the pdf to attempt to focus the tab (issue)
  8. e.g. ctrl + f dialog in this state will open the find dialog on the Start Here tab, not on the pdf tab

workaround

  • instead of clicking the body of the pdf to focus the tab, click the tab handle at the top. now, ctrl + f and other actions that target the focused tab work as intended
  • in my main vault, I also have the command Focus on tab group to the left/right bound as keyboard shortcuts, and those keyboard shortcut still works. I didn’t try this in the sandbox vault, however.

Additional information

I don’t believe this was happening before v1.8.4, but I have not personally verified this.

Another workaround, right clicking the body of the pdf in split view focuses the tab. left click still does not, though.
