Obsidian Freezes with $-$ in note

Steps to reproduce

Create a new note. Type $10-$1 or any numbers. Click “Preview”.

Expected result

I expected the note to load in preview.

Actual result

The app froze and I had to force restart.

Environment

  • Operating system: Mac OSX Mojave
  • Obsidian version: 074 (Latest as of July 4th, 2020)

Additional information

Summary: I had a note that contained some basic math/numbers ($8-$12) and it caused the app to freeze and crashed. I thought there might be some bad formatting of the note so I copy and pasted each section and tested it until I finally found the $ was causing the issue.

You can see that linking to the note then trying to navigate to the note through a link causes the app to freeze completely.

I’ve updated the note to just use a single $ instead of $-$ and there are no issues, but it would be helpful to highlight formatting causing issues instead of the app freezing and needing to force quit.
