Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Open any form that uses the markdown editor
- Type
1x(the number 1 followed by the letter x and a space) - Press Enter to create a new line
Expected result
The cursor should move to a new line without any automatic text insertion. The user should have full control over what is typed on the new line.
Actual result
The markdown editor automatically inserts 2. (the next number in the sequence followed by a period) on the new line, treating 1x as the start of an ordered list.
Is this a bug or expected behavior? Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the markdown editor's automatic list-continuation logic and reproduce the reported steps with 1x followed by Enter. Done means the editor leaves the new line empty for 1x while continuing to insert the next marker for valid ordered-list input.
