Inline Code (backtick) not Auto-Pairing

Help
1

Steps to reproduce

With the Settings/Editor/Behavior/Auto-pair Markdown syntax enabled, starting inline code in a document does not automatically add the ending backtick character similar to ‘*’ emphasis or how double or single quotes work with the Auto-Pair Brackets setting enabled.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N] Yes

Expected result

After entering a backtick `, I expect a closing backtick to be inserted after the cursor similar to other paired markdown.

Actual result

The ending backtick is not entered and the entire paragraph becomes inline-code formatted text which is quite distracting.

This appears to be working now for whatever reason after restarting Obsidian. It does appear to require whitespace on either side of the starting backtick. Also if you have two backticks together (with nothing between them) like you do when you first start with the option enable, it will format the entire rest of the paragraph as inline code. I’m not sure if this is a bug or something markdown specific, but I do not see this behavior in Typora or Visual Studio Code. Obsidian seems to see the first backtick and it treats the rest of the paragraph as inline code even if there is no ending backtick which is pretty annoying.

Yes you need a space,
