Question: I just noticed a question that had two different numbered lists with different numbers but both were rendered as "1". Screen shot:

Is this supposed to be happening?

Answer: 
This is by design per the markdown spec. Those are two unconnected lists.

You can however do this

```
1. List Item

   or

2. List item

```

1. List Item

or
2. List item
Yes, it's a bug and it isn't. It appears to be by design. I can reproduce it here (edit to see the problem). If you hit enter after placing the second list item, then this problem goes away:

1. List item

or
2. List item
