hey @vihan85 , thank you for the report. Is this an issue for the UI of demo application?

hey @vihan85 , thank you for the report. Is this an issue for the UI of demo application? @MartinCupela yes, I found it on your demo.

Hi @MartinCupela this issue confirmed?

[MartinCupela]

So the issue description confused me, as I was typing characters and spaces, but the actual thing to type is not shown correctly by the Github markdown parser. After setting the issue description to edit mode I have seen the below:

But if you take a look at how GH parses the markdown, it is the same as the message. I cannot therefore consider this a bug

[minhth1529]

@MartinCupela it just show example, you can test that on you demo page

[MartinCupela]

Yes, but it behaves as expected. See how it is rendered in this issue description

[MartinCupela]

You are quoting something, so the white spaces will not be trimmed

[minhth1529]

I just typing: test. do not quote

[MartinCupela]

Quoting in markdown is putting character > at the beginning of the line. That is what your issue description contains. Your last message is confusing.

oh That wasn't my intention, I just wanted it to appear similar to the demo

The same thing happens in GitHub as you can see above in this message

[MartinCupela]

This is not a bug

Hi @MartinCupela

You can watch the video below.

Why does a horizontal scroll bar appear instead of a line break?

Can you support line breaks like when entering a consecutive string that doesn't contain spaces?

Hey @vihan85 , the whitespace is not trimmed, because that is how MD is interpreted by the parser. It is by design. If you would like to change the behavior, I encourage you to provide your custom remark plugins. The guide is available here:

https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/react/components/message-components/render-text/#custom-remark-and-rehype-plugins

You can take an inspiration from an existing plugin in the SDK:
