[Bug]: Focus switches to previously active note while scrolling in Daily Notes Editor continuous view

[kbdragon]

Bug Description

Environment

• Obsidian: 1.9.1 (desktop, Linux GNOME/Wayland)
• Daily Notes Editor: latest release as of Sept 2025
• Other plugins: reproducible with a minimal set (Dataview, Periodic Notes, etc. disabled)
• Sync: enabled (but no edits on other devices when issue occurs)

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a Daily Notes Editor tab in continuous view (showing at least of month).
2. Have at least one non-daily note open in another tab (this becomes the “previously active note”).
3. Focus the Daily Notes Editor tab and start scrolling through days or typing.
4. At seemingly random intervals, the editor will suddenly jump to the previously active (non-daily) note.
5. In rare cases, if another app (e.g. Firefox) is in front, Obsidian itself will be raised to the foreground when this jump occurs.

Expected behavior

• Scrolling in Daily Notes Editor should never change the active tab.
• Obsidian should not raise itself to the front when I’m working in another application.

Actual behavior

• While scrolling in DNE, focus jumps out of DNE and into the previously active note/tab.
• Occasionally, Obsidian pops in front of other application windows during this jump.

Notes / Additional context

• I have minimal Dataview usage in my vault, and none in the daily notes or the notes that get jumped to.
• The issue seems linked to DNE’s handling of workspace leaves in continuous mode. It feels like a focus/leaf handoff bug (similar to older setActiveLeaf quirks in Obsidian core).
• Limiting DNE to a shorter range (e.g., last week) reduces how often this happens.
• Disabling Daily Notes Editor entirely prevents the behavior.
