Clicking on the tabs in the application no longer works reliably. After some time, the tabs no longer respond to clicks, the corresponding view does not open. As a (poor) workaround, it helps to move the tabs, which then opens the window. All tabs are affected, center as well as left and right pane.
This is reproducible in the sandbox (quite fast).
I haven’t experienced this. Can you give more detailed steps to reproduce? Like “click 5 tabs” or “wait 5 minutes” or whatever you can identify.
I wasn’t able to reproduce in the sandbox vault (same MacOS and Obsidian versions as you). I opened the sandbox vault and clicked back and forth among the default left sidebar tabs for 50 clicks, then opened a new tab in the main area and clicked back and forth between that and the existing note for 50 clicks.
Hi! I have a similar issue: after searching notes by tag, I can’t go back to the Tags panel. Only double-clicking works all the time. Tabs don’t work well for me either.
The problem might occur because of an external screen. There is no problem when I use the main screen of my Mac.
Not normal, well this must be a bug caused by Sonoma or how the newest MacOs is called
I’m also experiencing this problem on Sonoma
Everyone in this thread, if you could, please provide your “Show Debug Info”.
And if you are on an older installation version, try reinstalling from the latest 1.5.3 download on the website. And make sure you give it a test in the Sandbox vault to make sure it isn’t a plugin or CSS snippet that is causing the issue. (kl_s, I see you did already, but that was an older post and an older version. I wonder if you’re still experiencing this.)
I can’t reproduce this either. It’s working fine on my side.

Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
I’ve tried to reproduce this bug in the newly created vault – but it doesn’t work. I can also notice that this bug sometimes appears and sometimes does not
very strange. I hope somebody can point to the right direction
I have this problem on my machine as well. I figured out exactly when it happens and found a fix (that works in my case at least). Don’t know the root cause.

Use Obsidian…
To reiterate, this issue only comes up when both conditions (1) and (2) are met.
Clicking on tabs is now working as expected on both displays, regardless of whether Obsidian is full-screen or not.You are on a pretty old installer version.
The last version I’m aware of that was required to update manually was 1.4. There was also an important security update a while back. Your first step should be downloading and reinstalling manually.
(This may or may not address this issue for you.)
Otherwise thanks for the details and the clues! I wonder if that was a common factor for the other people.
I don’t think it’s the installer because @demn has the latest minor release but is still facing the same problem. I will update my installer anyway though, it’s been long overdue, you’re right! 
Maybe @demn @panteleus and @kl_s could try out the fix I suggested (see comment) and see if it works?
