Steps to reproduce

  1. Follow the troubleshooting guide
  2. On a Mac, create a text replacement (e.g., $alpha → 𝛼) in System Settings
  3. In Obsidian, in any note, create a heading line (# Heading)
  4. On the line above the heading, type your text replacement trigger but don’t press space (so you still see the little replacement window thing)
  5. Press the delete key

Expected result

Just the last character you typed gets deleted

Actual result

The text replacement gets inserted, and the heading gets deleted.

Does it happen in source mode?

This may be a bug of MacOS, we have no control over text replacement. It’s something that is acted upon Obsidian by OS emulating keyboard or mouse input.

3

Yes, it also happens in source mode.

4

just adding a +1 to this, its a problem on my machine too, including in sandbox

5

Download and reinstall obsidian, is this still happening?

Does it happen only when the text after is a heading?
