Editing question changing code to block quote is still formatted as code

Question

I asked a question on StackOverflow and later added some more information. I included a quote initially in a code block, but then I edited the question, highlighted those two lines, and clicked the "block quote" button on the top, thus adding > to the beginning of each line. While in edit mode, the preview showed it formatted as a quote. But after saving, the page is showing it still formatted as code. You can tell because the two words to and or are navy blue.

To test, I copied the URL from one browser to another browser. I can still see the two blue words, indicating it's formatted as code instead of a quote.

The way you have it formatted is a code block inside a blockquote. You still have 4 spaces in front of the text in the blockquote, so the Markdown parser still thinks it's code. Just clicking the blockquote button does not automatically undo code-formatted text inside it.

Removing the spaces fixes the problem.
