Description

When tldraw is embedded in a canvas, text within text frames (created using the Text tool) renders incorrectly. Specifically, text frames improperly crop the text, leading to a malformed or incomplete text display.

The issue is consistently observed in both .md and .tldr files, with identical behavior.

Environment:

  • Tldraw v1.23.0
  • Obsidian v1.9.10 Linux Flatpak
  • Issue verified in the Sandbox vault

Research direction

Reproduce the malformed text frames in the Obsidian Sandbox vault using the attached .md and .tldr files. Start by tracing the plugin's text-frame rendering path; done means text created with the Text tool is fully visible and not cropped in both file formats.
