Home key jumps to beginning of document in empty lines

Bug graveyard

Since a few weeks the Home key has an (for me) unexpected behaviour on my PC:

Pressing the home key when the cursor is on an empty line causes the cursor to jump to beginning of the document.

Pressing home on a line with text works as expected: the cursor is then moved to the beginnin of the line. Even pressing home again then works as expected: nothing happens.

This sounds like minor issue, but somehow drives me nuts. :slight_smile: I am so used to using the Home key for quickly jumping to the beginning of the line, that I now very often end up at the beginning of the document and need to scroll down again.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a new note
  • Add three lines: one with text, one empty, one with text
  • Place the cursor on the second line (the empty one)
  • Press the Home Key.

Expected result

The cursor should stay at the beginning of the line.

Actual result

The cursor jumps to the beginning of the document

Additional information

Here is a video recording. The bug happens when the text cursor jumps to the beginning of the document. I pressed the Home button at that time in the video.

Thanks for any help!

Hi WhiteNoise,

thanks for the reply. I did this in the initial post already.

No, you didn’t do it in the Sandbox vault. The video has a theme applied and uses community plugins.

Ah, get it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Here is a recording of the problem in the help vault. With community plugins disabled:

I can’t reproduce this. The only way to produce that effect is to press ctrl-home.

@WhiteNoise Interesting.

  1. Just to be sure I made a new, empty vault. Disabled all internal plugins, still in safe mode. And the problem happens there as well.
  2. I tried the same on a different PC. The problem doesn’t occur.
  3. Ctrl+Home has a different behavior than CTRL in my PC: It always jumps to the beginning of the document. Whereas “just Home” only jumps to the doc-beginning if the line is empty.

Do you have any what could cause that behaviour in Obsidian on my PC?

Thanks
Fabian
