  • Default theme

  • Restricted mode

  • Although the image is not the default theme, I also tested it with the default theme

Can you kindly post a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault ?

  • Look at the location of this “123” note, it is in a folder

  • After closing the file navigation bar, restart obsidian, open ”123“ notes, and use “Files: Reveal current file in navigation”

  • Then you will see an unusual blank space to the left of the “123” note

I can’t reproduce this.
Can you kindly attach the debug info that you did not fill in your bug report.

I can reproduce this on two Mac computers. (Installer 1.3.5)

Also to test if it had something to do with numbers in the title, I used a couple different words, and it still happens. (Following the exact steps. The file explorer tab can’t be the visible tab, restart Obsidian, open the file, then reveal it. If the file explorer is visible when you start Obsidian, it doesn’t happen.)

If you rename the file, the indentation pops away, until you follow the steps again.

I’ll boot into Windows and check there.

This is very weird

Yes, I managed to repro. I needed file explorer not to be the active.

I can’t reproduce this in Windows, because when I close the Sandbox vault, it completely resets, including the view. So the file explorer is already open by default.

When you Cmd-Q on MacOS, it saves the states of the vaults, including the Sandbox vault. So you can reopen it, and have the state you left behind. Any notes you’ve created, and the sidebar tab you had open.
