I’m having a recurring issue with tables and links within tables. I have workout log files like this:

Note the tables with links in the second column and results in the format n / n / n / ... or n@nkg / n@nkg / n / ... in the third column. I update the third column after each set. Sometimes, I open a previous workout file during a workout and then switch back to the current file.
Without fail, every single week, at some point the first (and only the first) table gets corrupted, and I end up with a table like this, with a broken link and content shifted from the third to the second table (maybe sometimes the third column in the first row is affected as well, I don’t remember).
## Pull 1

I can’t give any more specifics as to when this happens, as it doesn’t appear to happen through an action of mine. Just switching the file seems to be enough, or maybe it’s related to syncing, I don’t know.
The vault settings are pretty much the defaults; I never had any plugins or third-party themes installed in that vault.
