Markdown numbered list auto-completion deletes text

Open alecGraves opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

What Happened?

Numbered list autocomplete in markdown can erase text sometimes.

Steps to Reproduce

Let's say we are typing a list and happen to have text after that

1. Do that important thing
2. Do another important thing

Himinez et al. mention that doing importantant things in a timely manner is important.

If we add a newline to the list, the following text gets deleted:

1. Do that important thing
2. Do another important thing <return>
3. <cursor here now>
4l. mention that doing importantant things in a timely manner is important.

Expected Behavior

I would expect text to not be deleted unintentionally.

Perhaps a guard preventing matching alphabetical strings to the numbered list would mitigate the issue.

Otherwise, I do like the functionality of the numbered list auto-formatting.

OS Version

7.x (Horus)
