Obsidian formatting breaks with Google Keyboard undo button

Bug reports

Steps to reproduce

When I use obsidian on my mobile app, if I have headings with #s or links [], they get replaced with OBJ symbols if I use my Google keyboard’s Undo button. Undo shows up when I use the swipe to delete function on the Google keyboard

Please could you investigate this bug?

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

yes I promise I was able to mess around with it on a new vault and it occured! I had to use undo after deleting half of a heading.

Expected result

I expect the #s or [[]] to not turn into OBJ format

Actual result

Square OBJ box in place of heading

I just had this exact same thing happen.It seemed only to cause the OBJ issue (when I used Google Keyboard unto button) above where I had the cursor. None of the brackets or #s below the cursor changed into OBJs.
