Describe the bug
I have a strange problem. After creating a drawing with the Excalidraw plugin, closing Obsidian and re-opening it. Obsidian starts to open multiple windows of this drawing each in a different pane 😦 It looks that it continues until my memory is filled (which is a little hard because my MBP has unified memory…😉 ). Nevertheless this makes the use of Excalidraw rather difficult to be effective. During opening of these windows I get sometimes the message : " Error loading drawing : cannot read property “path” of null. Try manual fixing or sync…"

To Reproduce

  1. open Obsidian
  2. create a new drawing
  3. leave the drawing pane open and close obsidian
  4. re-open Obsidian

Expected behavior
after re-opening just one visible pane showing the drawing

that is indeed strange. I do this regularly and have never experienced this issue. I see you are using sliding panes. I'll try to test if it is to do with that...? Can you try turning sliding panes off?
Is this something new, i.e. you did not experience this issue with 1.4.12?

I don't yet even have a clue where to look...

Here's 1.4.12

I also tried sliding panes, but it did not cause any issues. I think we can rule that out.
If you open the developer console, do you see any errors? CTRL+SHIFT+i
If you press pause in the developer console, where does it stop?
What are you transcluding?

so, my next attempt would be to turn off all plugins and only leave Excalidraw. Does the error still happen?
If not, then you can start turning plugins on, one by one.

"Does this log help?" You did not attach a log.
