In edit mode, click to place cursor anywhere not in a link. Then hold Ctrl and click inside any part of an internal or external link.
Expected result
Link should open on first Ctrl+click attempt.
Actual result
Most times, the first Ctrl+click fails (i.e. the cursor moves but the link doesn’ open), while a second Ctrl+click (either on the same link or on a different link) succeeds.
Sometimes it succeeds on the first attempt, and sometimes it succeeds only on the third attempt.
It seems to fail more often on [[internal links]] and less often on [external links](http://address.com) or http://address.com . (Ctrl+clicking within the square brackets of an external link has no effect, apparently by design.)
The erratic behavior described happens in both my personal vault and in the uncustomized Obsidian Help vault.
Environment
Operating system: Windows 10 Home (Build 18362)
Obsidian version: 0.7.6
Additional information
Clicking on links in preview mode works as expected.
I can’t repro, it succeeds on the first attempt for you.
You’re not clicking on the brackets right? I noticed that doesn’t work. Clicking on the edge of the link (i.e. before the first character in the link) also works. Testing on 0.8.0.
Sounds annoying, would love to figure out reliable repro steps in order to fix it.
This happens to me as well.
Windows 10
Obsidian v0.8.0 - No custom CSS
The cursor needs to already be inside the brackets for it to work.
I’ve tried placing it (inside the brackets) through Ctrl+Click, just a Click and even with the arrow keys, and after I move the cursor by any of these means if I thenCtrl+Click it works.
Note: All clicks I do in the GIF are Ctrl+Click and I only change the location of where I click in the link so that it’s easy to see that I’m clicking twice, clicking on the same spot works the same way.
