No tags in the right sidebar

Help
1

This has been happening quite often. When I go to the right sidebar, sometimes I see the full list of tags I have across all my notes, but when I try to search for one I know 100% exists, it shows me no results, but then if I delete what I typed, the list doesn’t come back at all and it just shows me an empty list:

But if I search for tags, I see the list:

If I close Obsidian and open it again, everything goes back to normal:

Since I can’t update to a newer version, I’m stuck with:
Version 1.8.10 (Installer 1.4.16) on macOS.

Don’t know if this is a bug with this version?
If so, is there a workaround, where I can see the list of tags AND I can edit them the same way I can via the right sidebar, when this happens, if I don’t want to reboot Obsidian?

You might be running into some kind of indexing issue, as in this report: Internal links not updating after renaming files on iPad (no sync, no plugins). It seems to have cleared up for everyone in that discussion, but someone on Discord recently had the same problem.

Your installer version looks a bit old. I don’t expect it’ll cure the problem, but you may want to reinstall Obsidian to bring it up to date.
