Package	Version
markdownlint-cli	`0.27.1`
markdownlint	`~0.23.1`

I run into this issue often where ignoring code blocks is sometimes followed, and sometimes not. Also, sometimes the globbing of the word is greedier than I'd like (e.g., docker.service → Docker). But maybe the latter is a separate issue.

The proper case is: Docker

Fixing this in the other panel will glob too greedily: `/var/lib/docker/overlay2`

    "proper-names": {
        "names": [
            "Docker"
        ]
    },
    "code_blocks": false
} -->

If you fix the configuration per issue #402, is this still an issue?
