what is the output of show debug info?
Hi, I did this directly in the Obsidian sandbox vault. There is no command to Show Debug Info on the sandbox vault. I have a personal vault which also experiences the issue. I will paste the debug info of my personal vault below.
EDIT: I am sorry; for some reason the “Show Debug Info” command was not appearing in the palette of the sandbox vaults I was using. I was able to find it. I am pasting the debug info of the sandbox vault I replicated the issue in below.

Did it happen in 1.9.14 or did it start happening in 1.10?
This started happening recently (in the last week, I think) - so I believe it started in 1.10. I could be wrong, I apologize!
Please let me know what other info would be helpful. I have tried to reproduce it as minimally as possible and demonstrate that it is reproducible regardless of configuration.
Another user (macOS it looks like) mentioned similar here:
but I wasn’t able to reproduce it (on Windows) with the settings they mentioned.
The issue turns up when pasting an image.
