Mulitple mouse clicks changes reading view to source view

[kinoloy]

Steps to reproduce

Multiple successive quick left-button mouse clicks results in the view changing from reading view to source view. It is also not consistent. Sometimes, depending on where I click, the reading view switches to source view. Other times it does not.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes. I was able to reproduce it in a fresh vault with no plugins.

Expected result

The reading view should remain reading view, even if I click many times in succession. Sometimes I click like this to copy a line in reading view. It should not result in a change to source view. I only noticed this bug on a recent version of Obsidian.

Actual result

Reading View ⇒ Source View

Please, post a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault and provide the output of “show debug info command”.

Thanks

I think Liam mentioned that they are aware of the issue. It happens around embedded images in this example.

Here I’m double-clicking with the mouse multiple times:
