[Bug]: Unrelated Base Crashes Obsidian. Related to md checkbox. Concise reproduction instructions within. #2109

Bug Description

My recipes base (unrelated to TaskNotes) freezes when I try to click on a recipe card on mobile. The file title successfully changes but nothing else does and the app becomes uninteractable. I narrowed this issue down to TaskNotes, successfully reproducing the bug when tasknotes was the only community plugin enabled, and verified that the bug disappeared when TaskNotes was disabled.

I was able to reproduce the bug in a simple case which I believe will make this quite easy to debug. The diff of a single markdown task (from no md tasks) made the difference between crashing and not. Instructions below.

Thank you for the plug in, and for your continued work.

Best,
Jake
