If I grab this and paste it into a card that I'm creating, it automatically detects the indentation and places it in a code block. Worse, because we view the card details in that weird menu and code block contents don't wrap, I can't read all the contents.

 

It is beyond frustrating and I just want some way to disable it. Code blocks via indentation is easily the worst idea in markdown to begin with so the fact that everyone keeps replicating it drives me up the wall.
