Revision history [back]
I confirm that this issue:
(v0.7.50) happens in the body text, but does NOT in the code formatted snippet.
(v0.7.54, which seems to the one currently this forum http://askbot.org/en/question is running on) does NOT happen. See an example from other site that runs on 0.7.56 as of today.
Presumably upgrating the version is one way to resolve the issue.
