Describe the bug

This is the second time this happens. When inside a excalidraw, after mistakenly moving something or adding a element and quickly pressing CTRL + Z once to undo said change, the file completely wipes out, and deleting pretty much everything in the markdown and whatever wasn't deleted turns into compressed-json. This only happens inside .excalidraw files.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enter a excalidraw drawing.
2. Perform an action (eg: moving something, adding an element)
3. Press CTRL + Z once to undo the action
4. See the file go blank before ultimately displaying a blank canvas

Expected behavior

The action to be undone and the file to go back to its previous state.

Screenshots

Additional context

This has happened twice, when a file was large but definitely not huge, for this one, I estimate around 10 pictures, no more than 500 words distributed across text boxes and some handwriting. When this happens, if you try to check the markdown, you can only see the following:

---

excalidraw-plugin: parsed
tags: [excalidraw]

---
==⚠  Switch to EXCALIDRAW VIEW in the MORE OPTIONS menu of this document. ⚠== You can decompress Drawing data with the command palette: 'Decompress current Excalidraw file'. For more info check in plugin settings under 'Saving'

and it keeps going, but, even if it's possible to recover this compressed-json data (which I am not sure of), the text elements and embeds are completely gone, forever.

I am sorry this happened. I can see you are using Excalidraw 2.2.2. This issue was addressed in 2.2.3. See release notes here: https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/releases/tag/2.2.3

You did not share the complete markdown file. If you do I can check if I can restore it for you.

Oops, I will make sure to update next time :( Thanks for all your work, thanks to you I don't need to use One Note anymore.

It would be really nice if the file can be restored, since I was using this specific file to study for a test I have this week. But if for any reason it cannot be, it's all good. Thank you so much for your offer.

For anyone reading this in the future.

• I pasted the contents of the markdown file into an empty note (instead of opening the file with Excalidraw up front).
• I ran the command palette action: Decompress Excalidraw
• I did a search and replace for "isDeleted": true, changing it to "isDeleted": false

When elements are deleted, during the first save they are retained in the file with "isDeleted": true.

Thank you so much!
