Problem description & steps to reproduce

Give any reasonable instruct LLM this example prompt via WebUI: Very simple task: Repeat this string assignment exactly as-is, just fenced as Python code: foo = "\(bar\)" It'll repeat that incorrectly as: foo = "$bar$"

Clicking "Copy code" on the Python markdown box in the answer gives:

foo = "$bar$"

Clicking "copy" on the whole answer gives:

foo = "\(bar\)"

Thus there seems to be an issue with markdown rendering / escaping.
