Vanishing text in only one file

[Chomp]

Hi!

I’ve run into a weird problem with the mobile app, and I can’t quite seem to find the solution on here. Please let me know if I overlooked something and this has actually been solved before. Also please let me know if I should post this somewhere else. I wasn’t sure if that would really be a bug, as it’s literally just the one file

In one of my files, and just that file in all my vaults, I’ve found that if I scroll with too much speed or scroll to the very bottom and then try to scroll back up, the file suddenly lengthens by an insane amount and about half the text will just disappear. It also sometimes happens while I’m editing that file, but less consistently. If I close and re-open the app the file is back to normal, but it just keeps happening. It always vanishes starting in the same spot as well, right at near the start of the biggest solid wall of text I have in there. This also only happens in editing mode, not reading/view mode

Does Obsidian start to wig out if a paragraph is one continuous piece for too long? Or if there’s too many bullet points? Because nothing else really seems to differ this file from any others.

I have community plug-ins off, and only the plugins on that the app automatically has on
I have checked the files within my phone, nothing looks wrong
I have plenty of storage space
I have reset my phone, nothing changed
I have tried updating my phone to see if maybe it was my own software issue, nothing changed

I really would like to try to avoid having to uninstall and reinstall the app, as the way my phone handles documents connected to apps like this, it might delete all of those as well. And while I have space on my phone, it’s not enough to make duplicates of all my files. I’m sure I can figure this out if there’s no other possible solutions, though.

This was a lot of text, but I seriously have no clue why the file is doing this. I’m not totally sure what else I should do here? Is it maybe just a problem with my phone and not the app? Any advice is greatly appreciated

AFAIK, rendering/displaying a note in Obsidian is done “on demand” (not sure if it’s the right term and also if it works this way on both desktop and mobile ) …

In other words, when you scroll while in Live Preview (I’m not sure about Reading or Source ), what kind of happens is that Live Preview gets the raw markdown content from Source, reads/parses it to finally render/display it the way it should look like… and as it’s done “on demand”, this only happens for a portion of a note…
This means that the whole note isn’t pre-rendered in case you might need it when you scroll but it’s rendered “bits by bits” while doing so … which can become a bit problematic (depending on how long the note is, how much the parser needs to work, how fast you scroll, your device, maybe other things I don’t know about …).

On mobile (iOS/iPadOS), I’ve personally run into this bug: Bug: Scrolling long notes, scroll abruptly stops in between (at least once, on a somewhat long list … I’ve haven’t checked that note in a while though) but I have no idea if you might be facing the same issue though …

It looks pretty similar to my issue! It just seems that whenever I scroll too fast past about 7/8 down my note it just totally freaks, so I assume that it is just a loading issue as mentioned in the thread. Sucks that there’s nothing to be done other than to wait for a hopeful bug fix. Thank you for your help, it’s much appreciated!

I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually helped to insert a few paragraphs into that long wall of text. That is to insert a double lineshift here and there, which would make it easier for Obsidian to load bits and pieces of that long wall of text.
