Can you attach a document where this happens in sandbox vault?

Off-topic(?)

On pre-catalyst 1.5.3 search and replace done from outside doesn’t sometimes update with the replacement. Note must be closed and re-opened to have the updated text.

So this may not be a new thing is what I’m saying, but as I said, I do full-vault replacements from outside of Obsidian (Python).

Oh, OP hasn’t done replacements yet. That’s different…

In the sandbox vault, if I “Search & replace in current file” for a [ and start clicking next, it won’t update the scroll location of the note.

Thanks!
