Not Applicable

Confirmation

I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Paste this into the input box:

```
Pixel *p = img->arr + img->width * i + j;
```
What is in the codebox?

The output is expected to print as is.

Actual Behavior

Pixel _p = img->arr + img->width * i + j;

The pair of asterisks have been replaced with _.

Steps to Reproduce

N/A

Logs & Screenshots

Additional Information

This bug is triggered no matter we have code box or not. Modify a preexisting input does not trigger this behaviour.

IMO this is not ideal, webui should not modify user's input.

You can either turn off rich text editor or create a code block manually.
