1 year ago This is normal. The theme.css file is minified with Sass, so it's not meant to be editable.
If you want to edit the theme, I would recommend forking it and following the build instructions: https://minimal.guide/Contributing/Local+development
There is also an unminified version in the root called Minimal.css that you can edit. However please be aware that editing theme files is not recommended because you will lose your changes if you ever update via the theme store. If you are making big changes, you should fork the theme.
Is the bug present when using the default Obsidian theme?
No
Is the bug present when snippets and plugins are disabled?
Yes
Minimal theme version
6.2.1
Describe the bug
I think this is the whole of main.min.css being written to the themes\Minimal\theme.css in the vault's .obsidian directory. Regardless of how this happens, it causes problems for editing. Lite-XL takes over 30 seconds to open the file, and Lapce simply hangs even if you wait 20 minutes. I don't know to what degree having everything on one line helps with performance (I'm guessing very little if at all), but it's not at all worth it unless it's an improvement by at least an order of magnitude.
Another possibility is that this is completely by accident. The theme.css file has a mix of unix and dos-style line endings, so Vim shows many lines with a little ^M character at the end to show dos carriage returns that shouldn't be there since not all the lines have it. Mabey that one huge line is actually meant to be thousands of lines but got mangled in moving between systems. Anyway, I think code file contents that crash text editors qualifies as a bug.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets. Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
