Code block bug when following numbered list?

Question

Not sure if there is a SO bug reporting page and if so I'll delete this... but it came to light with this answer

It appears if you try to have a code block immediately follow a list then the first line of the code isn't formatted..

list item
list item

public void Code() {

In order for a temporary fix I introduced a character on a new line..

list item
list item

'

public void Code()
{

This is also addressed in the code formatting FAQ: How do I format my code blocks? — Martijn Pieters, Commented May 19, 2014 at 9:57

Code block inside the list:

list item
list item
```
public void Code()
{
```

Code block outside the list:

list item
list item

public void Code()
{

The corresponding markdown:

Code block inside the list:

1. list item
2. list item


        public void Code()
        {

---

Code block outside the list:

1. list item
2. list item

<!-- -->

    public void Code()
    {

@Sayse - it is, but with a question in Meta Stack Exchange.

@ChrisF - yes i upvoted mat's comment under question. Think my comment on this answer was misread.

Hah -- I used this just the other day to separate two code blocks with a blank line. I must've thought, "oh well, everybody must already be doing it this way."

It would be nice if this were included in the formatting help. I've just wasted hours on this and ended up with a hack in which I replaced my list numbers by (1), (2) etc.

That HTML comment thing is still totally a Kludge! I wish there was a non-janky way to do this...
