why does editing a trello description with code fencing add additional backslashes

Tim Diggins

When I add a richtext  code fence in a description like this:

 

Sample `code_fenced_words` in here

and I press save, and I see that the underscores have extra backslashes before them

effectively: Sample `code\_fenced\_words` in here

 

and if I just edit and save then the backslashes will duplicate etc.

Hi Tim! Hope you are doing great!

Yes, we were able to reproduce this issue and there's already a bug request opened to our dev team for further investigation. While I don't have an ETA on when a fix for the issue will be pushed, as soon as one is available, we will deploy it.

Meanwhile, there's a workaround you can try. For this new WYSIWYG editor, there's an option to click on "plus" + button in the editor panel and select Code.

Then you can write/paste your code in there and it won't add backslashes on it.

Hope that helps you!
