Ok thank you for your transparency here! I’ve been wondering if it has something to do with my theme (Minimal) & CSS snippets that maybe exacerbates it for me while in standard Obsidian this glitch is less dramatic with a smaller indentation offset. It also seems to be only happening with checkboxes, not bullet points, and seems to be tied to specifically multiple lines of indented, nested checkboxes. Thanks again.
I’ve done a deeper dive on this and found a workaround: in a CSS snippet, manually set the text-indent and padding-left for .HyperMD-list-line-1, .HyperMD-list-line-2, .HyperMD-list-line-3, .HyperMD-list-line-4, .HyperMD-list-line-5, .HyperMD-list-line-6 and potentially further on depending on how nested your notes are, using !important to ensure this is applied. This forced the indentation not to shift as I’ve previously described (I matched the px of my custom CSS to the ordinary indentation before the glitch showed up).
EDIT: After taking a closer look the original bug report above, this appears to be a separate issue, so I’m moving it from here to its own bug report.
Using Obsidian mobile version 1.3.1 and the current public release of the desktop app, I’m still getting weird hanging indents in check boxes like the second one in the attached image, and at least one other user on the Discord confirmed it today. They happen pretty randomly, and though using Minimal’s alternate check boxes particularly seems to trigger them, I get them when not using alternate checkboxes, too. (Kepano says it’s an Obsidian bug, not an issue with the theme.)
Putting my cursor at the beginning of the first word, backspacing to the bracket, and hitting the space bar usually fixes it temporarily, but then they’ll reappear randomly even on bullets that were never checked off and never had alternate checkbox characters inserted.

Thanks for sharing — hopefully this will be fixed!
Thank you! After realizing that this is a separate issue from the post above, I moved this to its own bug report. Please feel free to go there and reply to confirm that you’re also experiencing the issue.
