This is more of a general feature request to focus on features/bugs related to pane behavior/UI. Currently, the behavior to pane related features/UI is inconsistent and unpredictable. These inconsistencies disrupt the ability for the user to focus and be productive.
I understand that from a development/testing standpoint, resources are very limited. However, from a feature standpoint, I think the Obsidian team and users should be very proud, thankful, and content. At present, Obsidian is very usable and already addresses most, if not all, of the important/urgent use cases. It’s quite a feat. But the inconsistencies particularly with panes/UI significantly devalue these rich features that already exist.
So I wonder if others feel the same way: prioritizing pane behavior/UI to be more robust, consistent, and predictable. This would require eliminating existing bugs, implementing some of the key feature requests in the forum, having clearly documented expected results, and ensuring more thorough testing.
