Pasting a code snippet inside ticks doesn't format as a code snippet

Hi,

 

In teams if I type `foo` the output is formatted as a code snippet.

 

If instead of typing the code snippet, I paste the code snippet (i.e. `[ctrl+v]`) the value is not formatted as a code snippet. To get around this, I have to type `[ctrl+v][space]`[backspace] which seems like a bug.

 

Also, if I type two ticks (i.e. ``) and then paste code between the two ticks, it is also not formatted, even if I hit space.

 

Thanks!

  • No problem!

    If you feel that it’s more of a bug with the desktop client then please feel free to raise it through one of these channels -

    1. In a ticket to Microsoft
    2. On the bug section at Uservoice here - https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports
    3. Or I now believe you can send a report through the desktop client in the Help section.

    Hope that answers your question

      I see this as more of a workaround than a fix to the UX bug. Thanks for this info though!
