What is it supposed to look like?

You didn’t take the time to explain the problem. And your screenshot is very low resolution.

[WhiteNoise]

Post a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault (on not themes/ no plugins) and attach a copy of the document where this happens.

“### Toyota Auris” is not formatted as Markdown. This happens in longer documents very often. The first part is well formatted, then a part is only black (not formatted as markdown), after some of this not formatted lines, the formatting works well. It only happens in ‘source mode’. After reloading obsidian the error is gone…

When it happens I will add some further screenshots

[Ralf]

Where our how do I get the sandbox vault?

@Ralf

source mode

If you are in source mode, what you are seeing is correct.

[petruknisme]

Not understand what you are saying and which one you mean. This is work in mobile reading/editing/source code mode.

[Ralf]

Take a look on the screenshot after only reloading obsidian. In the first screenshot the heading ‘### Toyota Auris’ is shown as normal text in black and white. After reload it is correct shown as heading (h3)

I will post some further screenshots when it happens. Then all markdowns like headings, lists, check boxes not working.

[WhiteNoise]

Remember, default theme and no third party plugins.

[rigmarole]

(Also, sorry your original screenshot was just fine. I was viewing it on mobile, and it was all pixelated. On a computer, it shows up fine.)

[CawlinTeffid]

Obsidian loads documents in parts as they are scrolled into view. Sometimes when you scroll (most often in longer documents) you will see unstyled text briefly before it is rendered. It seems yours is getting stuck in that state sometimes.

Do you need to reload Obsidian to fix it or can you just reload the note (by going to a different note and coming back)?

[Ralf]

I have to reload obsidian most of the time. Can I switch this behavior off? It only happens in the mobile version on Android.

Typically the document is well formatted and when I insert or change something, then parts are wrong formatted

[WhiteNoise]

Use the default theme, use restricted mode (no third party plugins). Post a screen recording of this happening and attach a copy of file that is causing this.
