Vanishing text in only one file

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

In other words, when you scroll while in Live Preview (I’m not sure about Reading or Source :innocent: ), 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 :blush: … 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 :sweat_smile: :woman_shrugging: …).

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 :blush: … 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 :woman_shrugging:
