Additional information
The green text is green because the .cm-string class is getting applied to it.
Since .cm-string is a class for codemirror’s syntax highlighting, I suspect this is an upstream codemirror bug.
The green color goes away if additional text is added to Footnote1 in my example.
Specifically:
[Footnote1]:<space>
[Footnote2]:<space>word<space>word<space>
is not green, but
[Footnote1]:<space>word
[Footnote2]:<space>word<space>word<space>
is green, but
[Footnote1]:<space>word<space>
[Footnote2]:<space>word<space>word<space>
is not, and nor is
[Footnote1]:<space>word
[Footnote2]:<space>word<space>word
