It’s difficult to insert new list item after one, that was autocorrected, difficult to exit from autocorrection popup. This is unusual behavior compared to another iOS apps. I attached link to screencast, would be glad if it could be fixed 
Steps to reproduce
Difficult to insert new list item:
- Start new bullet list or numbered list (1)
- Write list item sentence:
- with some typo in the last word and
- without trailing space at the end
- Add one more list item
- Tap on the first line (1), autocorrection popups
- Tap “return” on keyboard, newline removes autocorrected word and breaks the list
Difficult to exit from autocorrection popup:
- Write word with some typo (anywhere), choose autocorrection
- Tap on the autocorrected word
- Tap on blank bottom part or another line (far from this word)
- Need to tap one more time to move cursor
Expected result
When I tap on the autocorrected line on the right (not on the autocorrected word) autocorrection popup should not appear and I can continue write list item or tap on “return” and have new list item
It should be possible to exit from autocorrection popup and move cursor by tapping only once somewhere in the note
Actual result
Newline removes autocorrected word and breaks the list. It’s hard to continue autocorrected list item or insert a newline
When there is autocorrection popup on the screen tap somewhere in the note (on blank bottom part or another list item) opens another popup, which blocks and keeps cursor on its place.

Two bugs:
BUG 1:
When writing using a bullet,
if I start misspelling a word,
iOS autocorrect suggests a word.
If I don’t hit the “space” bar but instead hit “return” to create a new bullet, obsidian moves the curser as if I hit “return” twice.
I then have to backspace to bring the curser back.
Here’s an image:
BUG 2:
Also, when I hit “return” my misspelled word should be replaced by the autocorrect suggestion, but it does not in obsidian.

Description
In the Obsidian app on iOS, pressing “Enter” while the auto-correction prompt is active leads to unexpected behavior. Instead of accepting the auto-corrected word and moving the cursor down one line, the app skips the auto-correction entirely. Additionally, if there’s an existing line below the current one (whether empty or not), the cursor moves down two lines instead of just one.
Steps to reproduce
- Type a word that triggers the iOS auto-correction (e.g., “thier” to correct to “their”).
- While the auto-correction suggestion is visible, press the “Enter” key.
Yes
Expected result
The app should apply the iOS auto-correction suggestion and move the cursor down by one line.
Actual result
The auto-correction is skipped, and the cursor moves down two lines if there is an existing line below. If no line exists below, the cursor moves down a single line, but auto-correction is still skipped.

This issue has been observed on iOS. I’m not sure if it happens on other operating systems

Have you tried pressing space instead? I get the behavior you describe if I press enter while the autocorrect word is showing, but if I hit the space bar instead, it corrects/completes.
Obsidian 1.6.7
iOS 17.7
iPhone 15 Pro Max
EDIT: It also corrects/completes if I insert punctuation, such as a comma or period.
Pressing space or punctuation works fine. My issue is specifically with the Enter key, as I mentioned. It’s especially annoying when I’m writing bullet points, where I often need to start new lines.

I agree it should be fixed, but idk whether it originates in Obsidian or Capacitor.
The workaround for now is to hit space to complete the autocorrect before hitting return. It doesn’t hurt to leave a space at the end of bullet points, and is occasionally helpful if you later combine them or convert them into paragraphs.
Does it happen in source mode?
Yes. Just switched to source mode and tested it.
EDIT. Hitting return to complete an autocorrect suggestion at the end of a bullet list inserts both a blank bullet underneath and a blank line where your cursor ends up. So then you have to hit backspace to get back to the new blank bullet.
Does it happen here under safari mobile
I don’t get autocomplete or autocorrect suggestions in the text field there.
But I do here in this Discourse reply pane, and don’t get the behavior described in this bug report. I’m using Safari on an iPhone to write this.
