I have used numbered lists in Steemit posts and comments many times without any problem - however, I have just made a comment that has a couple of issues relating to numbered lists.
My comment under this post was intended to contain 2 numbered points, but because I knew there would be a paragraph in between them I knew that using the markdown system of placing a '1.' for each list item would not work. As a result, I intended to number each numbered item in the list manually, so that the second item would be manually marked with a '2.' instead of a '1.'. I'm pretty sure that what I actually then did was curiously test the system by using '1.' instead of '2.' for the second point.
When I saved the comment, I saw that I had two numbered lists, both starting at '1.' - as is expected when a paragraph breaks the entries in the list.
I then edited the comment and manually changed the second '1.' to a '2.'. However, when I saved the comment, I saw that the second list item continued to be displayed with a '1.' even though the comment text contains a '2.'.
I edited the post again and made a further change to make sure that the comment changes were actually being saved and these other changes WERE saved correctly. So, there is definitely an odd glitch occurring where the numbered list processing algorithm is ignoring that a numbered list has been over-ridden by a manual number typed in be me, the user.
This occurred in latest Firefox on Windows 10 64 bit.
