You are working in the Sandbox vault.

This is a special default vault that gets reset. It’s used for tests and learning.

You’re going to have to make your own vault and save it somewhere.

(Unless you were just using the Sandbox for the report? But in this case, this would be a bug you’d need to demonstrate in a permanent vault.)

The command that you are running is called “Reload app without saving”.
Can you make this bug happen without it?

I found another bug that has nothing to do with this though.

I found this bug in my permanent vault, and the demonstration in the Sandbox is to rule out the influence of plugins, CSS, and other factors.

If I do not use “Reload app without saving,” and directly close Obsidian and reopen it, I still cannot change the ignore files. I checked the app.json file, and the “userIgnoreFilters” in the file do not change with my operations in Obsidian.
If you need more information, please tell me.
