bug: Markdown bullet lists are incorrectly converted into numbered lists in chat (desktop.app) #6407
Description
Version: 0.6.9
Describe the Bug
In Jan (Desktop.app) there is an issue with how Markdown lists are displayed. When entering a simple bullet list using * or - in the chat input, it is not shown as a bullet list with dashes or dots, but is automatically converted into a numbered list. The expected behavior would be a standard bullet list with dashes. In reality, however, a numbered list is displayed.
When texts are submitted to Jan for processing, they are automatically reformatted. One of the core functions should be the reliable preservation of texts. If content is provided in Markdown, it is important that the formatting is returned exactly as it was input. Changes made by the desktop or chat tool not only distort the presentation but also alter the semantic meaning of the text due to the forced numbering.
This behavior deviates from the Markdown standard and makes it difficult to use Markdown properly in Jan.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a bullet-point list like this,
- copy it into the chat,
- send it, and
- you will immediately see that it gets changed.
