Inline code with backticks stays within the code tag when closing

[cameronjonesweb]

Describe the bug
Adding inline code tags using the backtick shortcuts keeps the cursor within the code formatting and forces you to navigate out of it to write normal text.

To Reproduce

1. Type a backtick in a paragraph block (`)
2. Write some "code"
3. Add another backtick to close the inline code formatting
4. Continue typing. The cursor is still inside the code formatting and it shouldn't be

Expected behavior
After the backtick that closes the code tag is added, the cursor should automatically be outside the code tag as it is in the classic editor

Yes, we should fix this. Thanks for the report.

This is what I'm seeing right now with WordPress 5.0 RC 1:

The cursor position is off, and the backticks are only converted when pressing backspace.

I noticed this too. This issue also applies to some closing HTML tags. Here's a demo of the Markdown issue:

@ellatrix Can this fix be called via API? I'm having the similar issue when adding custom markdown :

Thanks!
