#37693: TinyMCE: backtics not handled correctly in paragraphs that already contain
backticks

 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  TinyMCE       |    Version:  4.6
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Have a paragraph that contains literal backticks. For example, copy
 this to TinyMCE: {{{ In this paragraph with `backticks`, try to add some
 more. }}}
 2. Anywhere in this paragraph, enter {{{`test`}}} and press a spacebar.

 It should convert it to `<code>test</code>` but it doesn't.

 My guess is that a regex or something similar doesn't handle multiple
 backtics in a paragraph correctly.
