Document goes blank on task switch away and back

Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.
I have an open document. I switch away to another task/app. When I switch back, the document is empty, except for the title.

I think that this began occuring after I upgraded to macos

Steps to reproduce

open a document that has some content.
Switch away to another task/app using command-tab. Do some things for a while. Perhaps visit several apps. An immediate switch back does not usually repro the issue.

Eventually, return to obsidian with command-tab.

On a successful repro, the document appears to be empty. ctrl-z brings it back.

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

yes, restricted mode, default theme.

Expected result

My full document.

Actual result

the document is empty of content.

Environment

The problem may have begun after I updated to macOs Sequoia 15.0.1

It sounds like your vault is in iCloud Drive and iCloud is removing the files.

If so, right-click on the vault folder, whatever folder the vault is in, the Obsidian main folder, etc., and choose Keep Downloaded.

Let’s see how it goes after doing that.
