    Thanks for the report and the example file, it reproduced exactly.

    Pressing Up from below the front matter jumped straight to its first line and skipped the fields. A multi-line math block was skipped the same way in both directions. Both are fixed: Up and Down now move one line at a time through front matter and math blocks. While you're editing front matter, it also displays as plain YAML now, not as a bold heading.

    The fix is in 4.9.1, which is going through release testing now. Once it's out, the in-app updater will offer it. Sorry it took a while to get to.
