Describe the bug

Sometimes my excalidraw plugin can't load anymore. I have had this issue now for I think 3 times last month. The only solution I can find is to remove the plugin and re-install. Than it works again for some time, until it doesn't.

I haven't found out how to reproduce it. I turned of all other plugins, doesn't solve this when I already have the error. Might prevent the error from happening, but testing that would ruin my Obsidian workflow for an unknown amount of days, since this error seems to happen at random intervals (which is of course not true, but I must act on what I know ;) ).

I thought this might happen because of syncing between different devices, so I just turned of all syncing of the settings. But even if this solves it, this would I think still be an issue.

I understand this will be extremely hard to debug, since I don't now the exact steps to replicate. So no worries if you won't find time to dive into this one.

If I find any other hints that might solve this, I will of course add them.

Steps to reproduce

Install Excalidraw plugin.
Use Obsidian for some days.
Then one day open Obsidian and get the error message that Excalidraw can't load.
Manually toggle the 'enable' button gives exact same message.

Expected behavior

Excalidraw loads at startup.

Additional context

See the image for the error message I get at startup. To be clear, this is a start-up of Obsidian with all plugins disabled, to get rid of the clutter of 26 other plugins. Next I removed excalidraw and then reinstalled it.
