I am going to remove the deploy blocker label since this is only an error console and it seems to be working. I am going to find the PR that caused it.

I managed to reproduce it once, but not anymore, so I am wondering if this has been a thing for a while. It doesn't break anything and everything seems to be working even though a multiline comment is not allowed unless you copy and paste.

@slafortune Can you see if you can reproduce it?

[slafortune]

@pecanoro I'm having some internet issues, I'll have to test in the morning.

[slafortune]

@pecanoro I was not able to recreate this error - not even once.

@slafortune Thank you! I am going to close it for now and if it happens again, then we can have someone take a look since it's super minor so I feel we can use the resources for some other issue.
