BUG: random x and y displacement of elements about obsidian-excalidraw-plugin HOT 8 OPEN

Are you by any chance using Excalidraw on multiple devices? or always on the same device?

from obsidian-excalidraw-plugin.

I've also experienced this, but couldn't quite put my finger on the issue.
Excalidraw.com changed how text sizes are measured. The new solution is much more robust than the old, resulting in exactly the same measurements on different devices. Earlier a text element was slightly different in size on my iPad then on Windows or Android or Mac... this was especially bad when you had many lines of text.
My assumption is that there is a logic error in how old elements are converted.
Since this was not creating major disruption in my workflow I did not (yet) go after debugging what might be happening. The difficulty is that there are many changes that come to Excalidraw Obsidian that do not originate from my work, but from the core Excalidraw component. While I have become quite savvy in fixing those issue, each takes several days of net time to debug and understand... thus I haven't invested my time into this issue.

In your case this seems to be compounded with the issue of arrow binding.

So something with Excalidraw?

I do use obsidian on multiple devices (Windows & Android). However, I use excalidraw almost exclusively on Windows (98% of the time). Also the displacement seems to happen somewhat frequently, like every day/every couple days. There are some parts of my file that I might have fixed a second time already.

Since the file is large, I wouldn't exclude that it appears like it happens frequently because I keep discovering different parts of the same corruption

I've created a debug file (Debug Drawing.md). I will keep opening it on android and desktop without (intentionally) modifying it over the next days, to see if anything happens to it

I'll keep doing the same...

I looked up a file that has displaced text. I opened my backup copy from my archive and opened it. Everything stayed in place. This is a file I frequently visit... my current assumption is that there was an update along the way that had some calculation error... which got resolved in the meantime. It is extremely hard to roll back time to find out what has happened. I will keep my eyes open to see if there are new errors popping up. I haven't seen any lately.

Thanks Zsolt! By the way I just donated on kofi and added a link to a comment to a reddit post I once saw. Keep up the good work!
