I have a friend who uses TW along with me. We sync our files in a TW Node.js system using GitHub to both our computers (using my own code) and this has worked for us for at least 7-8 months.
In the last few days, my friend got a new computer and installed all the normal tools for our notes and TW on WSL2 (his computer runs Windows 10, latest version). TiddlyWiki version 5.2.1 has been installed and appears to work without bugs. However, when he git cloned our shared notes respository and opened it to be viewed with --listen various shadow tiddlers don’t work.
When he clicks on the “Open” tab, it doesn’t show the currently open tiddlers but instead shows the code in the page. The same thing happens when he clicks on “Recent”. I have an exact copy of all the files in his TW folder and it does not happen for me (I am running version 5.1.23). This behaviour is consistent for him between browsers (though he defaults to Firefox, as suggested).
Why might this be happening and can we fix it?
