Thanks, however there isn't enough information to reproduce the problem.

1. Please edit the description and include a screenshot of the problem result.
2. In the steps to complete, please edit them to say how exactly you are completing the task.

• In Tasks plugin search results?
• Clicking on the task in Live Preview?
• Clicking on the task in Reading Mode?

The above is nothing to do with the 🏁 delete option, and so will not be tracked here. Each issue needs to focus on one problem, please.

However, It looks similar to the following, which I have only been able to reproduce since updating to Obsidian 1.7.0.

I suspect that the cause of this issue is the following in the Tasks plugin Live Preview code:

https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks/blob/33efdee4aa448ce161f24971ed591c8252638c6e/src/Obsidian/LivePreviewExtension.ts#L93-L104

It probably needs to detect if the completed task has been discarded, and if so, not apply the workaround...
