Describe the bug When I create a new Excalidraw file but I am using a template, the creation of the file crashes with the message:

To Reproduce Create a template as the following (all I did was change to dark mode and change the stroke width): Excalidraw Stroke Width Template.excalidraw.md

Additional context Note that this does not happen when I do not have a file template. I also tried removing the template and recreating it, but that did not work. This was not happening in versions before Excalidraw 1.9.17, or at least that's the latest version I remember this happening in. Here is the document I get in response:

When I click on the template file that I created, it gives the following: Then when I click OK, the file is restored, but closing and opening the file afterward gives the same issue.

The file above seems to miss the closing markdown comment sign. I deleted my template and created a new file that I saved as a template following only your changes (dark mode and stroke width setting). I was not able to reproduce the issue. My assumption is, that the reason the restore does not work is because already the first time you saved the template the file was corrupted. Can you reproduce the issue by deleting your template and creating a brand-new template file?

I am now unable to recreate the issue. Perhaps it has something to do with my file system being corrupted originally or re-syncing my files due to obsidian linter.
