Additional Information
I just realize even 2 images without / stay in the same table cell still causes this.
Forgive me if I’m missing something, but what’s the reason for the forward slash ( / ) in there? Sometimes a backslash ( \ ) is needed to escape a pipe, but I haven’t seen a forward slash used before.
I’m writing rulebook. Sometimes, it doesn’t have to be /. When you put 2 images on the same table cell, those images will not render unless cursor touch them.
It just happens on the latest update.
I think you’re talking about this. That it also happens with an adjacent slash or multiple images is incidental.
Steps to reproduce
1. In the sandbox vault, create a new note and paste this:
| image | image and text |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `![[image.png]]` | `before before ![[image.png]] after after` |
| ![[image.png]] | after before ![[image.png]] after after |
Optional: Place an image named image.png in the vault. Even without an image file, the empty-attachment placeholder demonstrates the issue.
Stay in Live Preview.
2. Click inside the bottom-left cell (the cell with just an embedded image) and move the cursor around. Notice that the image remains rendered and the source text is visible.
3. Click inside the bottom-right cell (the cell with text and an embedded image) and move the cursor around.
Expected result
The image remains rendered. And/or the source text is visible.
Actual result
Neither the image not its source text are visible until placing the cursor on the source text.
