Sync status icon 'menu' no longer works

Previously, when you clicked (can’t remember left/right) on the sync status icon, it would offer options to pause, view logs, and more. It’s the green checkmark at the lower right corner of the UI:

I recently discovered this feature and love it because I like to shut off syncing when I’m testing or playing with large files. With the new release, it no longer works. Instead I get a quick flash of what looks like it’s going to be a menu, and it instantly disappears.

I’m on Linux. I haven’t tested on Windows or Mac.

Same on Win10.

SYSTEM INFO:
Obsidian version: v1.6.5
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045

works for me.

Download and reinstall Obsidian.

Try with restricted mode on, default theme and restart obsidian.

Reinstalled it yesterday because of the new installer. No change.
Tried restricted mode. No change.

Got the new update today and turned on restricted mode. Same issue.

I can actually see the menu for a fraction of a second before it disappears.

It’s certainly not my biggest issue with sync :slight_smile:

Same here. The update changed nothing :expressionless:

Can you please use default theme, enable restricted mode, restart obsidian, and then make a screen recording of this happening?

I have been using the default theme the whole time.

Maybe you could get on a Windows or Linux host to reproduce the issue?

I am and I can’t reproduce the issue.

Enable restricted mode, default theme. Restart Obsidian. Post a screen recording of it happening. Thanks!

With the default theme enabled and safe mode on, the problem remains. This time I tested on my Linux box.

I can’t do a screen recording right now, but what I described is exactly what happens: when I right click on the sync icon, what looks like a menu pops up for maybe 100ms and disappears. It’s barely noticeable.

There are no messages in the devtools console.

Hi,
I did a screengrab. You can see a small popup for a few miliseconds.
Hope it helps.

Oops, sorry.
Was meant to be unlisted. Fixed it.

can you show me the sync logs?

Command → open activity logs

Anything?

We haven’t been able to reproduce this. I am not sure what conditions exactly trigger this bug for you.
