Describe the bug

After enabling auto-sync in Better Notes and opening the exported note in Obsidian, the note editor in Zotero 7.1-beta stopped working on macOS:

Notes became blank, unclickable, and uneditable.
No cursor in the note field.
Affects all notes – new and old.
Works in Web and Windows Zotero.
Also works perfectly in Zotero 7.0.21-beta.79 on the same Mac.
The issue persists across restarts, safe-mode, clean profile, and even clean database.
