LaTeX formatting not working in an issue comment

I've typed something like this (plus some other things):

- [ ] $\vec{\ell}$
  -

which makes it both a Header 1 and a checkbox list item.

  • When I click Update comment, the LaTeX does not display properly, it's just showing as '$\vec{\ell}$'
  • It works in Preview for some reason.
  • It works in Preview and doesn't work once I exit editing as well in other comments.

I don't NEED this to work but I would prefer to know if this is a known issue that has a fix in case I want it to work in the future.

Edit: It also works as normal text but not as the header
