Body

It's odd to describe, but for some reason quotes start with a random number (like this: 30./) and then everything seemingly breaks,

(this happens with OTHER quotes too only on Issues? It's not the AI thing, it happens, again, with all quotes on Issues.)

Thanks for reporting this issue!

The problem you're describing with quotes appearing with a random number prefix (like "30./") is related to how GitHub handles quote syntax when referencing comments. This appears to be a markdown rendering issue where the quote block syntax is being incorrectly parsed or numbered.

Possible Causes:

1. Nested List Numbering: The number prefix suggests that the quote might be getting interpreted as part of an ordered list. When GitHub auto-generates quote blocks from referenced comments, if the markdown parser encounters list formatting, it can prepend automatic numbering.
2. Markdown Syntax Collision: There may be a conflict between the blockquote syntax (> ) and preceding numbered list syntax in the issue thread.
3. Browser/Client Rendering: This could be a client-side rendering issue where the quote reference URL parameters are being misinterpreted.

Workaround:

• Manually edit the quoted text and remove any leading numbers
• • Ensure the quote block starts fresh on a new line without any list formatting above it
• • Try using the blockquote button in the editor instead of copy-pasting quoted comments
    This should be escalated to the GitHub team for investigation, as it affects quote functionality across all issue comments, not just AI-related ones.
