Internal link with display text underneath table not showing in graph/linked views

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a new note
  2. Insert a table (can be empty or with content)
  3. In the line directly below the table, add an internal link to another note
  4. See link appears in graph view and outgoing links
  5. Add display text to the internal link
  6. See link disappear in graph view and outgoing links

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

I checked for updates and restarted Obsidian. I created a new vault to test with default theme and restricted mode on, and then tested in sandbox just in case.

Expected result

Link should appear in graph view and outgoing links.

Actual result

Link still did not appear in graph view and outgoing links.

Additional information

Clicking on the internal link does take you to the linked note, it just won’t show in the other views.

Screenshot:

I can repro on MacOS + Obsidian 1.7.0 (in the sandbox vault) :blush: :

It appears that without an empty blank line between the table and the wikilink (e.g.: [[Vault is just a local folder|Local folder]]), in Reading view, the wikilink with an alias gets “merged” with the table (which then breaks the wikilink)…

Here’s what I see when I have an empty line between the table and the link [[Vault is just a local folder|Local folder]] just below it:

Here’s the corresponding markdown:


| A   | B   |
| --- | --- |
| 1   | 2   |

[[Vault is just a local folder|Local folder]]
[[Start Here]]

But if I remove the empty line, this is what I get:

Corresponding markdown:


| A   | B   |
| --- | --- |
| 1   | 2   |
[[Vault is just a local folder|Local folder]]
[[Start Here]]

But it’s not an “issue” if there’s no alias added to the wikilink (with or without a empty line between the table and the wikilink)

Markdown:


| A   | B   |
| --- | --- |
| 1   | 2   |
[[Vault is just a local folder]]
[[Start Here]]

I guess the easy solution would just be to add an empty line after the table, in any cases :blush: …
But what bothers me a little here is that Live Preview silently fails and just seems to work while in fact, it doesn’t :no_mouth: (which could lead to “surprises”, especially for those who rarely switch to Reading :innocent: )
