From @AndyL report:

Common means I can reproduce the issues on both Windows 10 21H1 and Windows 10 1909.

Issue 1.1 - Cursor in the wrong place when inserting between symbols and texts

To reproduce:

  1. Type some bold texts and then type some regular texts (such as: **Bold**Regular Texts)
  2. Place the cursor after the last * and before the first regular text(R)
  3. Press and hold ，(please use Chinese IME)

IME Issue 1-1

You can see that the cursor is in the wrong place.

For Issue 1.1, if you use source mode, then it will be solved.

Issue 1.2 - Cursor in the wrong place when editing headers

To reproduce:

  1. Turn on the Editor setting - Collapse Heading
  2. Type a markdown header (such as: #### Header) and make sure there should be some texts below the heading
  3. Select the #### (with space) part
  4. Type， (please use Chinese IME)

IME Issue 1-2

You can see that the cursor is in the wrong place (again).

For Issue 1.2, if you turn off Collapse Heading, then it will be solved.

Issue 1.3 - Punctuation gets selected

To reproduce:

  1. Type some bold texts (such as**Bold**) and add a line below it
  2. Place the cursor after the last * and press ，(please use Chinese IME) for several
    times

IME Issue 1-3

You can see that the second ， is selected.

For Issue 1.3, if you use source mode, then it will be solved.

Setting aside the issue with the older version of win, it seems if there is a problem is only with the char ，?

In my demo I only showed ， but actually every Chinese punctuation like 。、？！ behaves the same like ，.

#4

I can confirm not only full-width punctuations like ，。！？ but also other full-width characters like ａｂｃｄｅｆｇ(not half-widthabcdefg) have all these problems on Windows 11 21H2 with Obsidian: 0.13.30.

You can use Shift + Space to toggle full-width/half-width.

True and so it is with Windows Emoji like this:
Windows Emoji
(The second :joy: was selected)
Maybe another upstream bug?

#6

I can’t repro the emoji problem.

#7

I have checked the emoji issue and it can be reproduced on both my Windows 10 21H1 and Windows 10 1909. (But anyway, I rarely type two emojis consecutively in practice😂.)

#8

I can reproduce the emoji problem randomly…

#9

Ok, now I can reproduce sometimes.

#10

For the users who use Windows 10 with Windows default Chinese IME(Microsoft Pinyin), I have developed a small tool using AHK(Auto Hotkey), which can improve the type experience a lot (at least from my side). Here is the link and you can read the instruction then download it as a mitigation solution. Then we can wait for the official patch together😊.
