Wrong parsing for the dollar sign "$" in shell code-blocks

See original GitHub issue

When there is a dollar sign in two consecutive shell code-blocks, the displayed preview gets messed up:

The expected output should look something like this:

echo $A

What is going on here?

echo $A

I am using Google Chrome and didn’t test other browsers. To reproduce the bug, copy the following in a new text cell:

```shell
echo $A
```

What is going on here?

```shell
echo $A
```

Hmm… I was working on my Windows machine to create homework for the new semester. I checked and it seems that there is no option to force LF instead of CRLF. This will definitely add some overhead as I would need to download the notebooks convert line endings and upload them back again (didn’t test this yet). Hopefully, this gets fixed soon as I only have remote access to my Linux workstation. Thanks, @blois for confirming this.
