Unfortunately I can’t seem to reproduce this bug anymore, but I thought I would make this post just in case anyone else encounters it. The gif I captured below shows the bug in action. I “fixed” it by restarting obsidian and toggling live preview off and on.
When scrolling through a file with j or k in vim mode, extra characters get inserted into the document.
Steps to reproduce
-
Open up a longer file such as this one (shown in gif below) (3.2 KB)
-
Scroll to bottom with ‘j’ key.
-
Scroll back to the top with ‘k’ key.
Expected result
Nothing. Document should remain unchanged.
Actual result
When scrolling down, j’s seem to be inserted randomly before line breaks. And when scrolling up, it gets “stuck” and starts inserting k’s.

Additional information
I am unsure if this is specifically related to the new live preview editing update, but it seemed to fix itself once I restarted obsidian and toggled live preview off and on again.
