Challenge Escaping Literal Quotes in Strings has an issue.

Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.
My code:
var myStr; // Change this line
myStr="I am a \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\" ";
The instructions say the following:
if you were to print it to the console, you would see:
I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”
The instructions ask for a phrase that only has quotes around the words “double quoted” and “double quotes,” but if you write code that accomplishes this, the answer is marked wrong and the second requirement appearing in the bottom left corner with a red circled x icon says the entire phrase should be in quotes as follows:
Variable myStr should equal to (“I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes””).
Note how in screenshot the console output for myStr is identical to what instructions ask for, yet the answer is still marked incorrect.

@SaintPeter leave the double quotes in the output? The output right now with the correct code will print out the string:
But I think the output should just be:
Plus, we could change the last test to the following to match the output.
It isn’t as direct because you don’t actually need to send anything to
console.logbut the output will reflect what would happen if you did print it to the console.I suggest this last test rewording because right now, it says the string should be equal to
"I am a "double quoted" string inside "double quotes"", which wouldn’t actually work if you copy-pasted it because of consecutive double quotes.
