Obsidian Tables Repeating Rows -- Renewed

I have an Obsidian table of about 100 rows in which random rows are being duplicated without my action. The rows appear next to each other. This problem was reported here

forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-tables-repeating-rows/77811

without a resolution. Please advise.

I propose two solutions:

  1. try to reproduce your problem in order to document it and post a bug report Bug reports
  2. stop using Obsidian to edit large tables, instead use MS Excel or Google Sheets

Regarding 1 Obsidian team cannot fix the problem without first knowing the problem exactly—that’s why you need to provide exact steps and description to reproduce the problem. Otherwise the problem remains unresolved.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide exact steps and description because the problem appears in not particular circumstance and is not volitionally reproducible. These additional rows just randomly show up. Consider this a notice of anomaly and not a bug report.

In either case, could you share your “Show debug info”?

This is my attempt to execute the command, “Show debug info”:

It’s in the main app (not the developer console). Hit Ctrl-P to bring up the command palette. There you can run “Show debug Info”

RECOMMENDATIONS:
	Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
