I’d also ask: do you have any themes, snippets, or plugins enabled?

Do you have plugins installed or css?

Are other programs accessing this file?

DO you have some custom shortcut set up?

Does it happen in the help vault?

Do you have some special keyboard or system that might be sending unusual keycodes?

@ryanjamurphy Yes, a few. See - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sp99cl6S2ewd1yS0RSkslhjfq1sk84Z3/view?usp=sharing

It’s either a plugin or your text expander.
Do you have installed some plugins that delete a note if you dont write fast enough of you write too much?

#9

Nope. Definitely note. haha Otherwise I’d be left with a blank page always. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

#10

Ok let me know if you figure out which plugins is problem.

#11

Just disabled all plugins though safe mode. Along with the text expander. Still having the same problems.

#12

where is yuor vault stored? is it on dropbox or google drive?

#13

Google Drive

#14

if you disable google drive, does it happen?

#15

Oh, sorry, my vault isn’t stored in Google Drive.

I thought you were refering to this response with the GIF link: Not able to Type Complete Word, DEL long before Completion - #6 by mabdallay

#16

This is just so odd. Where are your files stored? what version of obsidian do you have?
Post a screen recording of your whole screen with no plugins and no css.

#17

what’s you OS? which software are running on your computer? are you sure you don’t have this problem in the help vault?

#18

@WhiteNoise files are stored on my computer. Obsidian version: 0.11.3. Will post a screen recording when time allows.

#19

Windows 10. Yes the help fault is totally fine. Today, I also notice the problem didn’t exist until I opened a link note and tried to type within the linked note.

#20

If the help vault isn’t a problem, it’s something you’ve added to the vault, or it’s a problem with other services operating on those files (like Google Drive). Try experimenting with the plugins you’ve installed.

#21

Will do. I understand you may have just mentioned it as an example. But just wanted to make sure-- I don’t use Google Drive. :wink:

Will test a few things today and let you know how it goes.

Update: Today, like yesterday, I can get a few more words in problem free, but still deletes text.

Disabling Text Expander Community plugin solved this problem for me.

Also, this was more frequent when I had a Preview Panel also open.

I turned off Typora which is also set to look at the same folders as Obsidian. I suspected this could be the problem because , each time the random deletion happened, there was a brief error message involving a external editor.
