I’m having the same issue on build 0.13.19.

Of the commonly sited plug-ins that may be related to the bug, I DO NOT have the Day Planner plug-in installed, but do have Daily Notes and Calendar. I am sync’ing via iCloud between iPad and Windows 10. I also have directory structure and Files settings in such a way the Obsidian and Logseq can sync with each other.

The bug still persists on the PC despite me having Logseq closed and Obsidian on iPad closed. However, on the iPad, there appears to be no bug.

This suggests that the bug occurs under varying conditions, and, in my case, syncing via iCloud may trigger.

I’ve been having the same problem since I started using Obsidian. My main machine is Windows and syncing through icloud with my macbook, iphone and ipad. Every few characters, I experience the text getting deleted. It’s being incredibly annoying and I feel unproductive because I can’t focus on typing at all but I have to spend time checking what has been deleted.

I ended up using Mark Text as my markdown editor for now but if I have to keep doing that, I don’t see why using Obsidian at all.

I’d be happy with having the autosave turned off on a switch because this seems to be the issue here. It sucks because otherwise I love Obsidian but at the moment it’s unusable for me.

Man, this is so annoying, It’s a shame this isn’t fixed until now. I’m giving up on obsidian. If this bug is fixed I’ll happily use it again.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

  • turn off all synch?
  • only use Obsidian Synch?
  • use a particular synch option e.g. Dropbox

I’m currently using icloud and the deletion of words as it is ‘externally modified’ is driving me nuts! From the threads though I don’t really know what to do about it!?

Just want to make a note here that even with Obsidian 0.13.30 with the new Electron 16 engine, I am still getting these “external changes have been merged” alerts despite never using anything except Obsidian to edit my vault. And NO I am not using iCloud.
