First of all, I appreciate this great plugin and always keep it updated!

Describe the bug

Metadata on .md files flashes and sometimes overwrites other files' metadata.
Also, even if no change is made, the file is treated as "edited/unsaved" (unsaved circle added to the tab) when you switch the tabs.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use v9.5.7529693 or later
  2. Open several files
  3. Swich the tabs
  4. You can see 1) the metadata flashes, 2) the file status becomes "editted/unsaved", and 3) suddenly metadata is overwritten as other files metadata

Expected behavior

  • No metadata overwriting
  • No flashes when switching tabs
  • Treated the tab as remaining "saved" if no change is made when switching tabs

Screenshots

Case: A

Screencast from 2024-01-17 16-18-16.webm

I just switch the tabs on this movie. (0:19) We can see that the metadata has been may suddenly inserted into frontmatter.json.

Case: B

It can happen with other .md files, too.

Screencast from 2024-01-17 16-45-26.webm

(0:07~) Metadata title is overwritten. ("My Second Post" becomes "New Beginnings" which is the title of the other markdown file)

We can also see that the metadata flashes every time I switch tabs.

Desktop environment

  • OS: Fedora 39 (Workstation Edition), Linux 6.6.9-200.fc39.x86_64
  • VSCode 1.85.1 & VSCodium 1.85.1
  • Front Matter Beta v9.5.7530510 or later

Additional context

It doesn't happen with v9.5.7529693.

It seems that some changes between v9.5.7529693 and v9.5.7530510 may affect this.

Here is the test repository if frontmatter.json is needed.

Thanks for your support!
