iPad split screen mode does not reflow resize correctly after switching apps

Possibly a duplicate of: iPad split screen mode not working (window size layout is incorrect after using stage manager to switch)

It was unclear to me from the prior thread whether this was considered fixed already. Just wanted to report that I still experience this issue on 1.9.2 (212).

Keep up the great work, really love Obsidian!

The public release hasn’t reached 1.9.x yet, it’s still 1.8.10.

are you sure you are running 1.9.2?

can you report this and make sure you follow the bug report template?

I’m having this same issue and I’m running 1.9.2. Setting up split screen initially works fine, but it’s when I minimize the split screen view (open another app or go to home screen) and then switch back to it that it happens.

This is not exactly the same bug as the one link but it’s a corner case that we haven’t yet handled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. On iPadOS, open Obsidian
  2. Splitscreen 50/50 with a second app
  3. Switch away from the two
  4. Come back

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

I tried it in a default vault with restricted mode and default theme

Expected result

It should stay rendered correctly at 50/50 size

Actual result

Obsidian will now be being rendered as if it’s full screen, despite being split. If it’s the leftmost window, you are seeing the left 50% of the 100% sized obsidian window. It stays this way until the split size is adjusted.

One additional observation to my last post: I just started Obsidian in 50/50 mode after iOS had closed the app from memory. When I started it up, this time it displayed the /center/ 50% – so 25% missing on the right, 25% missing on the left. Once I tabbed out and back, it want back to its previous behavior of showing the left 50% of the screen, as described in my post.

We have been unable to reproduce this bug in iOS 26. If you still can, please provide exact reproduction step. Please note that this BR is about split screen mode. If you are using any other mode, open a separate BR.

I am on ios 26 and im still having this issue but instand it happends anytime i back out of the app and then go back into it (landcape mode)

Fling the screen and back fixes it but it happends any time i reopen the app
It dosent happend 100% pf the time but offen enoth thats it increbully anjoing
The added link here includes a screen recording

That’s a different problem.

Please, keep this thread about split screen mode.

Apologies! I thought i had the right thread here! I will resend it in the correct one then!
