Obsidian 1.13.6 Desktop (Public)

Improvements

• The app now waits for configuration files to finish saving when quitting to avoid the file getting corrupted.
• Improved "Undo close tab" behavior. Tabs now reopen in the correct tab group, and if the currently active tab is the "New tab" page, it will no longer be reused.
• Removed dialog to approve URI actions because it was creating even more confusion for non-technical users. 1.13 already introduced some new guardrails like Mermaid diagrams being off by default.

Settings

• The settings window now closes when pressing Escape.
• Tab and Shift-Tab now move focus to the next focusable element instead of staying locked to the current row, making it easier to navigate to links.
• When Obsidian is fullscreen, the settings window now opens on top of the app window instead of creating an additional fullscreen window.
• The settings window titlebar now scales with the current zoom level.
• Sliders in settings now use the accent color.
• The startup stats window now shows more granular information about startup speed.
• Fixed font selection page crashing on Linux (requires latest installer).

No longer broken

• Fixed a few issues with link suggestions in the property editor. For example, typing # in a link would cause the link to get overridden.
• Fixed the window not getting focused when using a URI to open a specific vault.
• Fixed internal links displayed inside the readme file for themes and plugins.
• Fixed dragging links out of an embedded Base (e.g. ![[file.base]]) linking to the Base file and not the file you're dragging.
• Settings: Fixed validation errors not disappearing after the issue was fixed.
• Settings: Fixed settings crashing when navigating quickly between pages while the page is still animating.
• Settings: Fixed right-click menu on the community plugins setting tab showing duplicate results.
• Settings: Fixed bug where pressing the back button on a settings page would not always focus the setting item that opened the page.
• Live Preview: The "Delete image" context menu item no longer appears when the image has already been deleted from the vault.
• Live Preview: Fixed image not opening full screen if it contains a URL hash suffix (#).
• Live Preview: Fixed memory leak caused by reordering rows or columns in a Markdown table.
• Live Preview: Restored old behavior of embedded YouTube and Twitter links; they no longer have a selection state or an overlayed edit button.

Compatibility with latest installer

• Fixed zoom level getting reset after reloading the window.
• Fixed vaults on network drives not working.
• Fixed devtools not opening correctly when using the Web viewer plugin.
