Text box appearing on files

Steps to reproduce

I don’t know what is causing the bug, but I have videos of it happening attached. It isn’t something I can reproduce consistently, usually every 3 to 6 times. It most commonly appears when I am holding control, whether that has been to copy and paste something to the file or ctrl + backspace. The text box appears and does not go away whether the mouse is moved off of the text box or if the page below is clicked on. The only way to get the text box to disappear is to click it and to exit manually through the escape key. The text box is usually the previous linked page but is sometimes of the page itself. It mostly happens with a new page but can happen with existing text as well, e.g. the ctrl + backspace.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?

It happens without any plugins and with the default theme. I have been discussing it through the discord server and was sent to this forum for help. It has happened with both the current and previous updates.

You can try downloading and reinstalling Obsidian. Your installer is quite old.

i have reinstalled obsidian and the text box page is still appearing.

Were you using the graph view?

No, it happens when I am already in the notes.

let me know if you still have this problem when you get 1.8.5
