Thanks for reporting.

As per the docs please always test on the latest version before reporting as Rocket.Chat is fast moving and things are often fixed in newer versions.

I'd also update your own version to the latest - there is a security fix in there IIRC.

https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/tag/6.9.5

I have tested this on open.rocket.chat which is always 'latest' and I can see it occurring.

I'll mention it to the team.

The ui renders based on md field.So i need to change Rocket.Chat/packages/message-parser/src/grammar.pegjs
to generate correct md field .
correct me if i am wrong.
