Blockquote problem - wmd js editor

Hello.

I have noticed (in Chrome 19.0.1084.56 m) that blockquote functionality in wmd editor doesn't work as it should.

This is what is generated:

Blockquote

Blockquote> BlockquoteBlockquote

Blockquote

However, in Mozilla (13.0.1), it works!

Does any of you face similar problems? Do you have any suggestions?
