[Windows IME] Unexpected behavior when typing Chinese punctuation in list items in live preview mode

[Vallelonga]

Steps to reproduce

When I enter a Chinese bracket in live preview mode, the cursor will suddenly jump to the beginning of the line.

And I found that this problem does not exist in source mode.

Expected result

The cursor should appear where it should.

Actual result

Can you please post a screen recording of this happening in the help vault and using Microsoft IME?

[GLight]

It seems that it cannot be reproduced under MacOS. A only-Window-related issue?

[Vallelonga]

It is recorded in the help vault.

Another typical example:

Steps to reproduce

1. Turn on “Collapse Heading” in Editor setting.
2. Add a heading after some contents
3. Add a “bold content” below the heading
4. Press and hold a symbol with Windows IME (such as"，")

To illustrate step 2 and 3:

Some contents with say 100 lines.
# A heading
**Bold**，

Expected result

The symbol shows and the cursor is at the right side of the symbol.

Actual result

Sometimes the symbol shows but the cursor is at the left side of the symbol.

Environment

• Operating system: Windows 10 1909
• Debug info: Just use the help vault.

Thanks for your work! Sorry to bother again. I have checked the upstream bug link you mentioned. Grateful for your time and efforts to submit the issue one month ago. But it seems that there is still no progress since then. As far as I know, many other Chinese users are also getting into some trouble with similar punctuation issues. We all enjoy using Obsidian but the punctuation issue really has some impact on our experience. Could you please help to accelerate the progress? Thanks again!

[Vallelonga]

Currently the most straightforward solution is to use source mode directly. This is my current choice as well.

should be fixed in 0.13.25.

Thanks! Very happy to hear that!
