Hi Anar, thank you for taking the time to report this.
Does this happen with all special characters or only with a '<' with an un-matched '>'?

i tested with "a < b > c" and its show like "a C" and no other characthers like '&' also break it.

Comment 4 Simon Redman 2020-06-04 17:04:01 UTC

This is happening because the app is rendering HTML. I enabled this by accident. In the future it would be useful for things like link highlighting, but for now it should be disabled.
