The problem is best explained by watching the video:

2022-09-05_16-19-05.webm

Environment

Joplin version: 2.8.8 Platform: Ubuntu 22.04

Steps to reproduce

1. While in the markdown editor write a math expression between $$ $$ anywhere in the document
2. Now switch to the WYSIWYG editor and add additional text outside the math expression.
3. Switch back to the markdown editor and notice that a additional line was automatically added inside the $$ $$.
4. Repeat step 2-3 and every time a additional new line will be added inside the $$ $$.

Describe what you expected to happen

The additional new line should not be added.

Logfile

I can confirm this is still an issue in Joplin 2.9.4 (built from source).

Also happens with code blocks ```.

There are tests that seem to pass that should be catching this: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/packages/app-cli/tests/html_to_md/mathjax_block.md?plain=1

I noticed that the switching between Markdown and WYSIWYG has nothing to do with it. Just writing something in the WYSIWYG editor adds these new lines. So if I create a new note and start writing in the WYSIWYG editor and after minutes switch to the Markdown editor I will find something like this wherever I have code or math expressions:

$$
a + b







$$

And not even the "external editing" feature can prevent this problem. This is really bad.

This bug is the main reason why I don't use the WYSIWYG editor anymore. All of my notes end up being filled with empty lines.
