Weird markdown auto formatting behavior

Aaron Hong January 27, 2022

This is not exclusive to Bitbucket, as I've experience some idiosyncratic behaviors with the "auto" markdown formatting in Jira also.

But here is a recent example from Bitbucket. For some weird, weird reason, if you have a list (bullet or numbered), but you also have some inline code formatting `a la backticks`, a list items will randomly disappear once you save the comment. I have gone for plain text lists for now because I can not get the 2nd of 3 list items to stay.

This does not happen in Jira–why is this auto formatting logic not shared between Atlassian products?

I always feel like I'm fighting the auto formatter in the Bitbucket/Jira editors. And since the behavior between products is not even consistent, it's extra frustrating.

I tried to give feedback in Bitbucket, but an error occurred, so I feel like this is the only avenue I have to get Atlassian's attention.
