Put a space between the question words: and the first row of your table.

Yes, I know how to fix it, but shouldn’t preview mode and reading mode be consistent? Maybe I should phrase the bug report differently…

This also causes problem in canvas view: Markdown tables are not rendered in canvas if not separated with a blank line - Bug reports - Obsidian Forum

From 1.3.2, you will need to add a blank line before a table everywhere.
