Vim cursor position different to line selected when window moved to different vitual desktop

[Ramst3r]

When in normal mode, the vim cursor frequently “lags” a line behind that showing as selected in the gutter. Operations are performed on the line selected rather than where the cursor is placed. Furthermore, when insert mode is entered, the thin “insert” cursor appears aligned the selected line (as expected) but the fat “normal” mode cursor still shows in the adjacent line.

Steps to reproduce

1. Move a note to it’s own window, out of the main Obsidian application window.
2. Move that note to a different macOS desktop to the main Obsidian screen.
3. Edit the note in Vim mode. The editing cursor will be on a different line to where the cursor was prior to editing, as per the screen gif attached.
4. Move the note back to the same macOS desktop as the main Obsidian application window. The issue will no longer be present.

Expected result

The selected line and the cursor should always be aligned.

Actual result

The selected line and the vim cursor are one line apart when editing a note on a different macOS desktop to the main Obsidian application.

Does it happen in the sandbox vault?

[WhiteNoise]

1. Does it happen in the sandbox vault?
2. Does it happen in source mode?
3. Does it happen here https://codemirror.net/demo/vim.html ?
4. Does it happen here https://codemirror-vim--util.repl.co/ ?

Also we are gonna need repro steps. I will move this to help in the meantime.

[Ramst3r]

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Once the issue appears, it can be seen in source and preview modes.
3. I do not understand how to test in that environment. I am not a developer.^*1
4. I do not understand how to test in that environment. I am not a developer.^*1

*1 If you can provide links to instructions how to test in those environments I will try.

@WhiteNoise I’ve determined the steps to reproduce the bug and have updated my previous posts on this. I think this should be moved back to the bug list.
