We strongly recommend you to search the forum with possible keywords before submitting a new bug report. Please also try your repro steps with third-party plugins and custom CSS disabled and see if it’s still reproducible. If it’s an issue with third-party plugins or themes, try contacting the author for help. Once you’ve done the above, delete this line.

Steps to reproduce

  • Open daily note on Device 1
  • Open daily note on Device 2
  • Make some changes to the daily notes in device 2

Expected result

  • Changes are synced in both device 1 and device 2

Actual result

  • A part of the changes I made in device 2 are reflected in device 1. Any changes that are not synced in device 1 are deleted from device 2 as I’m composing the note.

For instance:

Let’s say I want to write the following sentence:
“A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”

In device 2, I’m composing the sentence and I get to the word “over”
“A quick brown fox jumps over”

But only a part of what I’ve typed gets synced in device 1:
“A quick brown fox”

Obsidian sync then proceeds to overwrite the data in device 2 with the data from device 1. So the final sentence in device 1 and 2 is:
“A quick brown fox”

I don’t understand if there is a problem here.
What happens if you wait the next sync cycle (2 seconds usually)? does “jumps over” appear?
