Table Cell content gets deleted after creating a new row

[kbonnici]

Describe the bug

Pressing + New button creates a new row as expected, but around half a second later any content that has been typed into that row is deleted.

Steps to reproduce

• Click + New button to add new row to data loom table
• Type into any of the cells in the new row
• Half a second later, whatever content was typed is automatically removed

Expected behavior

Immediately entering a cell and typing should preserve whatever I type

I suspect the culprit is updateRowsFromSources or some other higher level function call.

I asked about this behaviour on reddit and someone commented saying that Obsidian released an update recently which made some changes to the way tables are handled. Perhaps that is a good place to start.

I'm having a similar issue. updateRowsFromSources is getting called and disrupting table editing of any kind, reverting changes as they're being made. Turning off advanced tables does seem to stop the updateRowsFromSources call from disrupting editing. However, I'm noticing that sometimes the table just locks up entirely and I have to reload the note to be able to edit or scroll again even with Advanced Tables off. Maybe related, maybe not?

Ah, when the table fully locks up I do seem to see two updateRowsFromSources calls showing up when it happens. Here's what I see logged when the lockup happens with Advanced Tables disabled:

[kbonnici]

The problem still occurs even with all other plugins disabled. I dont experience this locking behaviour you describe though.

When i get a chance i will test with a fresh install of obsidian and report back.
