`bug #1234` sometimes creates a link, sometimes doesn't #3285

This is because of https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/blob/master/source/features/linkify-code.tsx#L26-L28, only issue references that are inside "code comments" are linkified.

In this case, GitHub doesn't highlight rst diffs enough for us to tell if it is a comment we have to process or part of code that should be ignored.

@fregante, maybe we should also linkify issue references that are outside of comments. Is something stopping us from doing that?

I don’t think so. That’s a comment so our logic is correct: GitHub issues appear in comments.

This is more about GitHub not recognizing its a comment.

We don’t linkify issues numbers everywhere to avoid unnecessary processing since GitHub issues appear in comments.

can we have the option to linkify everywhere? at very least in diffed text? that's the whole reason I'd want to use this

This feature is to linkify issue references inside code comments, where we can say if a particular part of code is a comment.

In this particular case where you have a nim code block inside an rst file, GitHub doesn't process that code block. This seems to also happen in md files too (example).

By your own example it does work inside regular nim file diffs, as you expect it to.
