Issue creating new notes from Open dialog box

Help
1

This can likely be closed immediately, but posting for posterity.

This bug seems similar to this closed bug that used ctrl+n with the same solution. I did read the bug template, but I thought it may help lend more information because there was no reproducibility before.

Also, please let me know if there are any logs that could help.

Steps to reproduce

  • Ctrl+o
  • Enter new filename
  • ctrl+shift+enter

Expected Result

  • Open new file with name passed from Ctrl + o
  • The remaining workflow would be
    • Trigger meta.md as global templater template
    • meta.md calls templater user script
    • user script logs name in console.
    • user script parses folder and/or filename to find a template
    • apply template

Actual result

  • I think that, first time, it will close the open tab
  • after that, it appeared to do nothing
    • user script logging name in console does not occur.

Additional information

Work around:

  • Open new tab
  • Click “create new note”

Fixed the problem at least temporarily:

  • open sandbox vault
  • created several notes with Ctrl + o workflow above.
  • closed sandbox and it worked in the original vault.

Weird behavior outside of Obsidian

I am having issues with office apps not opening at all. I don’t know how correlated these are for when they started, or if they even could be related.

This keeps sporadically reoccurring for me, and I’ve not noticed what what could be triggering it.

I use Templater heavily, and also have a number of notes with DataviewJS, so it’s entirely possible that I’ve messed up some code that causes the issue.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to log occurrence for debugging.

Please try to reproduce this using the Sandbox vault with no community plugins installed. Otherwise, I have a feeling it will be moved out of the Bug reports category.

Sorry, we don’t take bug reports involving third party plugins. Moved to the help section.

I will attempt this next time it happens, but I don’t think it will provide information because:

  • switching vaults, without closing anything, resolves the problem;
  • I don’t think I can be in a sandbox long enough for the problem to arise.

This has been moved to help, so perhaps it will just exist for posterity.

Another post for posterity in case someone finds this down the road.

The extension causing my problem was Multi Column Markdown v.0.9.1.

In the developer tools window, this error cropped up:
“Error matching next col-break to current element. Can not continue.” mcm_livePreview_widget.ts:629

I will report over there.

i prefer to use obsidian columns - i can even break up the screen with meta bind buttons while multi column markdown seemed to fail

Thanks for the tip.
