Obsidian mobile elements (misaligned|overlapping) under certain conditions

[Eigengrau]

In the discord, I posted about an issue of elements not having the correct (margin|padding)s , other elements overlapping where they shouldn’t . I didn’t get any answer that worked

For reference, here’s a couple screenshots demonstrating this issue

Happens in Default theme, so not theme issue

Thought I was only one with the issue until seeing a recent reddit post about it happening to some one else . The user factory reset, then reinstalled Obsidian and it came out like this

I think I’m experiencing same issue as this person , as I also had to factory reset at some point , but can’t say for sure that’s the source of the problem . Want to know who else had this issue and what might’ve happened to cause it

Hello.

Enhanced default is not default.

Create a new blank vault. Does it happen there?

What is your phone exactly, android version and android webkit version. Thanks

[Eigengrau]

Sorry about that ! Here’s how it looks with Default theme

Android version: 10

[WhiteNoise]

android webkit webview version and what is your phone?

[L3m0n]

Do you mean Adnroid WebView? WebKit is an Apple thing, not Android afaik.

[Eigengrau]

Then the android webview version’s 81.0.4044.138 . Sent message to the mod what phone I use because I want to keep it private

[L3m0n]

That is very old, are there updates available in the play store (or android updates)?

[Eigengrau]

Well, just tried updating it thru an APK but didn’t work (says it needs a shared library my device doesn’t have) . Guess I’ll think it through and I’ll report back if I decide to go through updating the system and see if that fixes

[WhiteNoise]

Sorry by bad, you must update android webview to a newer version. Even if your devices runs android 10, you should be able to update android webview.

[Eigengrau]

Very strangely, though I can’t update the normal webview , can install (beta|canary) versions , which seemed to fix most of the issues

Though the caveat of doing this is that these (beta|canary) webviews don’t stay selected , you have to open webview devtools to select them again . The chosen webview gets reset when powering (off|on) the device for me , making this workaround tedious for those that do it often

Obsidian seems to randomly “forget” my vault every time the webview version gets reset , meaning :

1. You constantly need to manually enable community plugins
2. The entire vault is being re-indexed , which gets annoying quickly
