Embedded links in lists disappear from live view

Steps to reproduce

Create a new note with some text, “foo”. Create a new note “bar” and embed “foo” in the body of the new note “bar”, like so:

  • ![[foo]]

Make sure that the tab will open in Live view; close the tab, and reopen it.

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

Yes.

Expected result

Nominally, the contents of foo or any other embedded internal links should appear in bar’s body below the list item, with the note name as a header.

Actual result

Instead, this will appear to show an empty list item. Placing the cursor on any part of the link’s text (as seen in source mode) will cause the embed to suddenly appear.
