Properties Reader View de-syncs from disk updates upon click/toggling a boolean field

Steps to reproduce

  • Open a sandbox vault
  • Cmd+, → Editor → Properties in document
    • Change from “Visible” to “Source”
  • Create a note with YAML test: false
  • Put note in Reading View
  • Open note in another editor (say, Sublime Text)
  • Check “test” checkbox
  • In other text editor, change “true” to “false” and save

Y

Expected result

Obsidian should detect the update and display it in Reading View

Actual result

  • Obsidian does not appear to detect the update
  • Changing Obsidian back to source mode shows Obsidian has picked up the changes
  • Changing Obsidian back to Reading View, the button can be toggled but no longer has any connection to the value on disk

In the troubleshooting guide, you were asked to download and reinstall Obsidian. Please, do so and report back.

I was confused by the debug info, but I’ve reinstalled as you requested and here’s the debug info from that sandbox vault (rather than from my regular vault, even though I’ve repro’d it in the sandbox before and after reinstall).
