Table Rendering Issue: Margin/Spacing collapse between text and tables

Bug reports
1

I am writing to report a recurring rendering issue in the Obsidian editor (Mobile/iPad environments).

[Issue Description]

There is a rendering glitch where the vertical spacing (Empty Line) between a preceding paragraph and a Markdown table is automatically collapsed or deleted. This happens even when the “Strict Line Breaks” setting is turned OFF.

[Key Observations]

• The gap between text and tables remains collapsed regardless of manual line breaks (\n).

• The Glitch: The margin only restores to normal immediately after a specific character (like a period or emoji) placed right before the table is deleted in Live Preview/Source mode.

• This suggests a “Lazy Matching” or “Block Boundary Recognition” bug in the Markdown parser.

[System Environment]

• Device: iPad (Mobile App)

• Settings: Readable line length (ON), Strict line breaks (OFF)

• Current Version: Latest Obsidian Mobile

I have attached screenshots showing the before and after states (before and after deleting the “anchor” character). I hope this helps in identifying the cause of this rendering lag.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

I don’t understand. Sorry.

Please,

  1. create a new vault, make a screen recording of the problem happening.

  2. Attach a copy of a note where this happens.

  3. Copy and paste here the output of “show debug info” command.

Thanks
