Summary

In the new issue editor of Jira Cloud, entering strings that contain '...!....' end up escaping the \ character when this is not always the intention of the end user.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter a string into a comment or description of a Jira issue such as

   c:\!test\world 
   

2. Save the change

Expected Results

In the previous editor, it would display correctly as intended

c:\!test\world 

Actual Results

The editor is escaping the \ which makes the path invalid and inaccurate
c:!test\world

Notes

Workaround

Using a Code block will show the string correctly

 {code}
c:\!test\world 
{code}

OR

Using the other slash such as '/' instead can still allow the text to display correctly, and in the case of filepaths, still be used in Windows environments.

c:/!test/world
