    The reason for this is that our markdown editor is one large code block. We've had this discussion internally and my personal opinion is that markdown is code and should be treated as such. However, I do definitely see both sides of the argument. Marking as "review" for now. Anyone who disagrees with me can upvote this answer to show support ;). Thanks for the report!

    @BenKelly Ah that makes sense, but it seems that using code is causing several issues. There are at least 2 other answers reporting a bug that seems to be related to the code tag. Commented Jan 28, 2021 at 12:19
  • I think we should not mix makrdown mode with RichEdit mode. I mean if you copy yours content in one mode, then you can not expect that pasting them in the other one mode you will get the same results. I mean you could not use both modes at the same time. You have to choose which one you want to use. And you can not pass your content between editor modes. I know for testing you coudl switch from one to the other, but not mix/copy content between them.

    @MichałLipok I don't expect the rich text editor to parse the markdown when pasting from the markdown editor, but at least having the same result I would get when pasting the same content from some outside plain text editor, or entering the same text directly via keyboard. In principle, the markdown box is unformatted plain text, not code. Commented Feb 2, 2021 at 18:47
