Hello,

I discovered that in the Open Computer chatbox, markdown elements such as code blocks and lists are not converted into the correct rendered element when they do not appear as the first text in a message, and that markdown symbols inside code (such as _ or backticks) are interpreted as markdown formatting instead of raw text.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a new conversation in Open Computer.
Type some text (e.g., abc) and press Enter to move to a new line.
Type ``` to start a code block.
Observe that no code block element is created. Instead, the ``` is displayed as raw text inside the chatbox.
Include markdown symbols such as _ or backticks within the code.
Observe that these symbols are interpreted as markdown formatting rather than being treated as raw text.
Note that the same markdown elements render correctly when they appear as the first text in the message.

The attached screenshots demonstrate the issue.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining this project.

Best regards,
Joshua Krimmer

🟣 #141 bug: Chat bubble displays HTML-encoded special characters and raw markdown instead of rendered output
This issue reports the same markdown-rendering problem in chat bubbles: code blocks are shown as raw text instead of being rendered. The new report adds that the bug happens when markdown is not the first text and that inline symbols inside code are parsed incorrectly, but the underlying rendering issue appears closely related.
