Bug Description

This is a very weird bug. It only happens with a certain file, which unfortunately I use every day. So to me it's very important to solve. I post here because I'm at wit's end how to fix it.

  • The file contains several Bases views with lists of exercises in it.
  • If I click on one of those exercises in the view, this of course takes me to the exercises.
  • But, when I then use the back arrow in the upper left corner of the file, Obsidian hangs and I have to restart Obsidian.
  • This is only true for the back arrow in the upper left corner.
  • The one in the virtual keypad that shows up in the bottom does not cause the hang.

Why I "blame" TaskNotes at the moment

  • This only happens if TaskNotes is enabled.
  • If TaskNotes is disabled, it never happens, regardless of other plugins being enabled.

Why this is hard to debug

  • This is only true for this list of exercises.
  • Other files containing view do not seem to exhibit this bug.
  • It makes me think there is a corrupt cache or something related to this file.
  • However:
    • There is no sandbox vault on iPad so I can't test with that.
    • This only happens on my iPad, not the same file on my MacBook.
    • On Obsidian on iPad, there are very limited tools to inspect what is happening.

What I'm asking

How can I resolve this please? :-)
I fear because of the specificity I can't even give you a reproducer. I'm hoping maybe you can give me some ideas of how to give you better information for debugging.

Current workaround

  • If I only use the arrow shown in the image above, the bug is not happening, so hopefully I can remember to do that every time for this file.
  • I often forget. :-)
