Issue Summary
Inline code formatting (backticks) fails to trigger in the Jira Cloud WYSIWYG editor when the opening backtick is inserted after the closing backtick.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open any Jira Cloud issue and click to edit the Description or add a Comment.
- Type a word as plain text (e.g., abc).
- Type a single backtick at the end of the word (e.g., abc`).
- Use the arrow keys or mouse to move the cursor to the beginning of the word.
- Type an opening backtick (e.g., `abc`).
- Click away or press tab.
Expected Results
The editor should recognize the surrounding backticks and automatically transform the text into inline code (monospace font with a gray background).
Actual Results
The text remains as plain text with visible backticks (`abc`). The "Input Rule" for inline code is not triggered because the sequence was not completed by typing the closing backtick last.
Workaround
The editor recognizes the pattern when the user types the opening and closing backticks in order around the text.
