Repeated rendering in reading view of dataview inline fields for duplicated fields

Help
1

I apologize for the convoluted title.

What I’m trying to do

I have a list of books consisting of title and author, but the fields are duplicated in each item, likewise:

- [ ] (title:: "*The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy*"), (author:: "J.R.R. Tolkien")
- [ ] (title:: "*The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy*"), (author:: "Douglas Adams")
- [ ] (title:: "*Ender's Game*"), (author:: "Orson Scott Card")
- [ ] (title:: *The Dune Chronicles*), (author:: Frank Herbert)

everything looks fine in source view, but when I toggle reading view, then I get:

The same happens whether I use checkboxes, bullets or inline fields with square brackets. Is there a way to get around it while keeping the checkboxes?

Thank you!

Your example renders just fine in my case:

So you might need to just restart Obsidian, if this problem still persists. It shouldn’t be needed, but updating Obsidian could also be an option.

Hi, thanks for your reply!
Is this screenshot from your reading view or your source view?
I have reinstalled and updated both obsidian and dataview and I get the same result as the one I posted. I also deactivated the other plugins and uninstall the themes I use. Same result…

My obsidian version is v1.4.16 and I use it mostly on linux (archlinux 6.5.9), if that matters.

It’s from reading view, with minimal theme, and some extra CSS. But that shouldn’t matter, if your reading view keeps repeating a line, it’s something wrong with your installation/plugin/query… It shouldn’t behave like that.
