Dataview causes screen flickering.

[shui-dun]

What happened?

When there is dataview query in a file, modifying other parts of the file will trigger the refresh of dataview, causing screen flickering.

Possible solutions:

• Only when other files besides the one containing the dataview are updated, will the dataview be refreshed.
• Turn off the automatic refresh of dataview, but this will lead to another issue, that is when just entering the vault, a page will open with dataview displaying empty query results that do not update. It is speculated that this may be due to some functions of Obsidian not being ready when entering the vault, resulting in empty query results at that time. A possible solution is to wait for Obsidian to be ready before performing another query.

this issue contains two mentioned issues.

1. dataview running before obsidian has finished building the vault cache
2. improving the rendering pipeline for updates

in regards to the screen flickering, could you please check this option and maybe increase the timeout value?

it should prevent flickering during editing unless you type with gloves. then you should probably take them off first.
