Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable ‘Show frontmatter’ in the ‘Editor’ settings.
  2. Use the default light theme and disable custom CSS.
  3. Go to Preview mode with a note.
  4. The front matter doesn’t show.

Expected result

I expect the front matter to show like it did with 0.9.20 and earlier.

Actual result

See above.

Example note

Create a note with:

---
title: "Where is the front matter?"
---

Hello there.

In Editor mode, this note shows as:

2020-12-08_06-48-28
2020-12-08_06-48-28693×214 4.81 KB

In preview mode, it shows as:

2020-12-08_06-48-38
2020-12-08_06-48-38703×184 3.56 KB

Environment

  • Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit.
  • Obsidian version: 0.9.21.

I think this is intended - there are some CSS-Themes which give you a button to reveal front matter (Minimal Theme by kepano does this I think)

This might be, but then the ‘Show frontmatter’ option is broken because with that setting enabled and Obsidian’s default theme, I don’t see the front matter.

Ah I see. Never mind then - I was not aware of this option!

#5

Caused by the same issue as this one: Left margin (or padding) in preview mode changed/broken

Will be fixed as soon as we ship the next patch release.
