When I reply to post which have format

Some text

• list
• list
• list

the reply have same intendation as list lines.

Probably not easy to solve, but I report it.

JAn Dudík, yes, that's why I never end with a list item; even if it's only my signature on the line below it. What I do in practice, when the person I'm replying to does that, is just add an extra level of indent in my reply. Problem solved. Mathglot (talk) 00:41, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

They used to use the last line (so the * in this example, resulting in ** or *: for the reply), and people complained that it should use the first line. Now they use the first line (the un-indented plain text, resulting in : for the reply), and people complain that it should be the old way.

There is no single "correct" way to do it, and editors have different personal preferences. I think they're going to have to pick one, knowing that it will be m:The Wrong Version.
