Latex blocks with space immediately before/after $ don't work

[dubi_steinkek]

Steps to reproduce

Create a new note and type in $x $, or try take $x$ and add + 1 + 2 + 3 to the expression. You will see that whenever there is a space just before the $ the preview doesn’t get rendered and it is just treated as regular text.

it works
it doesn’t work

Expected result

I would expect $x $ to be rendered exactly like $x$.

Actual result

The latex block is not interpreted as latex.

From the discord: This is expected, and if you want spaces to work you can use $$ blocks $$.

This is probably the case because otherwise you can’t make a single $ somewhere in text work without having to escape it.
