It's adding semicolons after doublequotes that follow at signs.

These don't show up if you go to edit the post.
It's also trying to parse the at signs as if they were callouts for user names. It doesn't send the notifications, though.

some testing

@()
@("test")
@aioua
@"aioua"
@test"test"
@""""
@test test "test"
@test
"test"

This is now occurring in quote blocks as well

@()
@("test")
@aioua
@aioua
@test"test"
@""""
@test test "test"
@test
"test"
@test user

Yeah it's been like this for a while, the '@' symbol fucks with it and the regex around the code stuff.

also ew what the hell kind of indent style is that in my original screenshot

2013 aioua what were you thinking?

Aioua · March 2016

oh apparently it's doing it site-wide now, even outside of blocks

@test user

@test"test"

Apparently the people with spaces in their name are still getting the notification, its just the link to their profile that's broken.

At least for the ones I did today.

e: Cool cool

Is also affecting Geth functionality; this led to user " being banned from thread.

It's a visual glitch, the right user is still kicked.

@nospace

@name with space

@("test")

@nospace

@"name with space"

@("test")

@nospace

@name with space

@("test")

EDIT: I noticed the problem with normal quote-wrapped at mentions got fixed at some point, so I though I'd test the other cases
still parsing in code blocks, still flipping out and adding semicolons if there's an @ and a " adjacent

I'm having a problem were after I did an @ the bar that you can click to autocomplete the name keeps popping up. Every time I hit "Enter" it erases the last word I wrote and instead inserts the name in the @ bar.

This sounds similar to the smiley face thing, where if you didn't do one of the "first-class" faces, then it would keep that popup of the suggested faces and you couldn't ever hit Enter.

As a workaround, does hitting Escape when the autocomplete bar is up get rid of the bar (at least temporarily)? Which let's you Enter when you need to?

I thought this got fixed but I guess it didn't?

Yeah there are still two things

@"name"

that parses, though it shouldn't

and

@fkdjfkd"

that gets all kinds of weird, I didn't type a semicolon there
