Steps to reproduce
- Create a new empty note in Obsidian
- Copy the YAML from attachment 1 (in Additional information) and paste it in Obsidian into the new note
- Examine the content of the underlying .md file of the note in an external text editor - you should see the multiline YAML in correct original unchanged formatting, exactly as copied & pasted
- In Obsidian editor of the note, click the YAML property value to view the entire text of
sorting-spec - In Obsidian editor of the note, try to edit the YAML property value to insert a single space in the beginning of the 3rd line ( # A comment here)
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes
Expected result
- expected after step 4: the original indentation of the lines in multi-line text value of the YAML property to be retained.
- expected after step 5: actual space inserted instead of the strange
0xa0character
Actual result
- after step 4: the original formatting (indentation levels) were removed (all leading spaces removed) and in result the multiline text value became flat-multiline (see attachment 2)
- after step 5: instead of space character the
0xa0was insterted (and cursor jumped to a random location at the end of text of the property) - see attachment 3
