Steps to reproduce
- In a new note (live preview), create a heading and a list below it. Make one of the list items an external link
- Position the cursor at the end of the heading line
- Switch to another application or Obsidian window, while leaving the note on the screen (as you’ll need to click it in the next step)
- Right click the external link

Expected result
The cursor should be placed on the line with the link, and the context menu should not contain heading-specific menu items
Actual result
Cursor is on the heading and heading actions are shown in the menu, along with actions for the link

Additional information
The problem does not occur in source mode, so it might be something to do with reformatting for the change in focus.
It doesn’t only do this with headings, and I’m not sure if an external link is really necessary, but it is a solid repro if the right click is on one. I originally discovered this because I was right clicking external links in a list and sometimes my menu choices were applying to the wrong link – it took a while to figure out that the cursor was going back to its last position instead of to the clicked position – but only when the window was inactive before the click. (It’s a lot easier to see that the menu is messed up when it’s showing both heading and link items, though.)
