Issue with backticks

[JasonHoffmann]

Issue Overview

I'm running into an issue with the triple backtick (```) shortcut / fenced code blocks. In a paragraph block, if I type three backticks, it causes a bug where the backticks are overwritten by content, and do not create a code block. However, if I type three backticks (only one of which appears), then press "Enter" then "Backspace" a code block is created. A GIF is included below for clarity.

I didn't see this issue elsewhere, so I'm posting it.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create a new paragraph block
2. Try typing backticks, then other content to see issue with backticks and content
3. Create a new paragraph block again
4. Type the backtick three times. Hit "Enter". Hit "Backspace". A codeblock will be created but not focused.

This is on version 1.9.1 of the plugin. I've tested it in Firefox and Chrome on a Mac.

Expected Behavior

Three backticks creates a code block.

Current Behavior

A backtick causes issues with formatting instead.
