| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:16 | comment | added | Andrew | That's literally the point of the bug tag on MSE, and again the question says it was done correctly after in an edit. This was NOT looking for teaching, it was looking for a fix. | |
| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:15 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Can't teach anybody anything new here. Rather moan about a bug than just type it correctly. | |
| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:14 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | You just miss the point of the bug. Like others already said and you missed somehow, it's about preview being different, not about "doing it properly". Your answer is great, but not for this specific bug, it's missing the point. | |
| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:13 | comment | added | Tetsujin | SE always ignores a single line break. When you try to combine that with lists or quotes, you're just giving it a harder job to do. | |

| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:13 | comment | added | Andrew | If it was improper in the first place, the preview in the editor should have parsed it that way in the first place, however the editor preview parsed it in such a way to show the desired result, implying it was proper. If this is how the post will look once submitted, the editor preview code must be changed to properly reflect that and concatenate the lines. (I also do not concede that a line break that was put in being completely ignored is ever proper) | |

| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:09 | comment | added | Andrew | My downvote is that this is a BUG REPORT and the work around you suggest is already covered in the question, as it was already applied to the linked question, this needs developer action to bring the editor preview and posted question/answer into parity, not suggestions for ways to work around the problem. | |
| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:08 | comment | added | Andrew | The point is not that there is a 'proper' way to format the block quotes, the problem is the difference between how they are/were handled in the editor preview when writing a question or answer with how they format once submitted. As the question here states the screenshots are from an earlier revision which was edited to solve this functional mismatch. | |
| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:08 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Downvote - you disagree that this is the correct way to do it, or you don't like to be shown how to do it properly? | |
| Feb 15, 2023 at 15:07 | comment | added | The Amplitwist | The screenshots probably refer to revision 5 of that answer. | |
