Additional information

The cause is that Ctrl-Enter is trying to open a link under where the cursor was in the body despite the fact that the list element is tab-highlighted. To reproduce this, create a new note with a list property, add a link as one of its elements, make the body of the note contain only a link, move the cursor over the link, navigate to and highlight the link in the property via the method described in the reproduction section, and hit Ctrl-Enter. The link in the body, not the link in the property, will open.

Alt-Enter doesn’t work as expected, either.

3

I can’t reproduce this.

4

So you’re getting the expected behavior? Interesting

5

I created a new user account and got the expected behavior there. I have no idea why a sandbox Vault would be insufficiently isolated to reproduce the behavior. I’m going to try removing a few things and will report back.

The culprit file was obsidian-1.11.7.asar. Deleting it and letting it regenerate has fixed the issue with no noticeable side effects.

7

The issue has re-appeared. Doing more testing.

8

It seems that deleting the file is a temporary fix. Closing and re-opening the app brings the issue back, even with restricted mode enabled, which means that plugins are not the source of the issue.

9

Deleting the file is a temporary fix, because you have automatic updates enabled and the file is download again as the app updates itself.

I can reproduce the bug now, however it doesn’t happen all time and I am not quite sure what triggers it.

We will fix a related issue in 1.13. eta unknown.
Let me know if your problem is fixed too.
