1.4.9 was just released for insiders. Worth updating?

Obsidian 1.4.9 Desktop (Catalyst)

[ashemedai]

Just did. Still there (tested with sandbox).

Is this specific to the current insider build?

[ashemedai]

I don’t know? I only have the insider build installed at the moment. I suspect it’s probably there in the public version as well (based on the fact that I do not even see CSS spans in the text block with the next match).

[WhiteNoise]

Ok, in the future don’t put the version in the thread title.

[ashemedai]

Adjusted. It’s a habit from dealing with many projects to help in categorising…

Confirmed on Mac in sandbox vault and on iOS in restricted mode after restart.

This behavior has existed for a while — I’m surprised there wasn’t already a bug report. It makes replacements very tricky.

Apparently it was fixed once long ago, tho maybe something else is behind the current bug. Replace button moves to the next instance but doesn't highlight it

[WhiteNoise]

will be fixed 1.4.10
