1. The page you were on (get it from the URL)

This seems to be affecting all post content. I will demonstrate this in this post, therefore no other URL is needed.

2. What you were trying to do when the bug occurred

I was writing a normal post with code. This is reproducible. A single double quote after src= will be displayed as twice. Code that is written as src="path" will be displayed as src=""path like in

src=""path

.

3. What the screen looks like (is it white, partially rendered, etc)

The single double quote " is displayed as double double quote "" in specific circumstance as described above.

0. My personal note

I understand this might be a by product of sensitization. But it is wrong in my other post and can lead to confusion. I also noticed it can appear in other cases like after a circumflex character src="`" , so its not just in code blocks.

Strange! It's something to do with the [code]src= part specifically. For some reason, after it gets reformatted into HTML, it just adds " after the = without it being there. Or at least that's what happens for me. If you add a " normally it gets changed into a & quot ; (added spaces because IDK how else to keep it from rendering as "). Weirdly, I had it do as you described once but it wouldn't happen again.

I tested this out by just previewing this post many times before posting.

I noticed Code block isn't even needed, as you can freely type src="`" (with a ` before the quote) and it renders it with two quotes. I can imagine that a regex or something looks for src= or href blocks, to sanitize them (pure speculation). It works with href="`" too, but not with title=`" . Note, these are all not in code block, so it is independent from code.
