Escape character in GPT response is swallowed by the Markdown renderer

[BenceSzalai]

Basically when ChatGPT writes a code segment and it tries to use escape characters in it, e.g. for a RegEx, it get lost while the API response is rendered.

An image tells it better:

same happens for this:

.replace(/\//g, '-');

converts to this in markdown:

.replace(///g, '-');

I have also noticed many times that CodeGPT gives invalid regular expressions. And when you fix them, it rewrites them to invalid ones again.

Meanwhile as a workaround the original response can be accessed with the [Open in Editor] button on the top toolbar. Still very inconvenient.

This will be fixed in the next release. I'm not yet entirely sure why it was added in the first place.
