Why is the backtick misfunctioning now?

I want to type:

there is an `x` and an `y`

there is an `x`

there is an `xand any

there is an x and an y.

Here’s what it looks like. I encounter it today.

Can I set the old behavior as default?

Yeah, looks like Discourse just rolled out their new rich text editor. It’s configurable both as a site-wide and user preference… but they unilaterally set everyone’s default to rich text mode.

I just reset everyone’s pref back to the old Markdown editor. You can still choose to start in the rich text mode if you want — it’s now opt-in. I think that makes sense as a default for our community.

For what it’s worth, I had already reported this bug in the rich text mode a week ago.
