Handwriting via Markup on iOS doesn't save if you 'insert page from file' while handwriting

[AngelsOfDarkness]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a PDF (any)
2. Press on 3 dots on the top right of the PDF viewer inside Obsidian
3. Press Share
4. Press Markup
5. Handwrite on 1st page
6. Press on 3 dots “Insert from File” on Thumbnails on the left.
7. Choose another PDF to insert a page.
8. Handwrite on this page.
9. Press “Done” and “Delete PDF”.
10. See PDF and see that no handwriting was saved on 2nd page.

Now if you do these same steps and choose “Insert blank page” instead of “Insert from file” and handwrite on the blank page and then press “done” and then “delete” it, the handwriting saves as it should.

Expected result

Handwriting should save no matter what.

Actual result

Only handwriting from 1st page saves and displays.

This is a bug in Apple’s markup, not Obsidian. Happens in every app, even Apple’s own Files.app I have opened a bug report in Apple’s feedback assistant, and if we’re lucky it’ll be fixed in iOS/iPadOS 23

Doesn’t happen for me in the Files app. Tested before reporting. Only happens to me in Obsidian.

Tested again just now and it is resolved. Must have been an apple bug. Thanks!
