Markdown-initiated bullet lists don't autocapitalize on iOS

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any note in Obsidian iOS / iPadOS.
  2. Start a bulleted list by typing - (hyphen + space)
  3. Type something, e.g., hello.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Yes

Expected result

The first letter of the bullet should be auto-capitalized, so you end up with Hello. This is what will happen if you hit Enter to create a second bullet in the list, or start the list from the toolbar button.

Actual result

Autocapitalization does not happen, so you get hello instead.

Additional information

  • iPhone 17 running iOS 26.5. Also iPad Pro running 26.5.
  • For what it’s worth, this bug is the main thing stopping me from migrating from Bear to Obsidian.
