Additional information

I’m using Obsidian sync
Never had this problem before today (4/8/2021) and today it’s happened three time, so far, and it does not happen for every note I edit.

ok post a screen recording with no css and no third party plugins.

[austin]

I think you’re saying reproduce the issue with no theme and only core plugins, right?

I don’t think I can reproduce on demand. I’ll see what I can do.

[WhiteNoise]

do you have other sync systems active on your files, like icloud.

[austin]

Yes. I was editing very rapidly and this likely caused the issue. Fix is to stop either iCloud or Obsidian synch.

Trying to figure out which.
