Looks like the problem they experience is the Continue button is too close to the "I ran into an issue" button, and they don't know what GitHub is, so they click the button to submit an issue with an empty description in the hopes of continuing the tutorial.

Impressive theory... since users are directed to type dotnet run on that part of the tutorial, and typing "dotnet run" and pressing enter submits an issue just like this, it all adds up. I've filed https://github.com/dotnet/website/issues/1703 (private repo) to track investigating a fix with people working on the site. I'm personally not sure how to clarify this, will be interesting to see what comes up.

With some discussion in https://github.com/dotnet/website/issues/1703, we think that left aligning the buttons, putting Continue first, and separating the buttons a little more might help clarify this. We've done that, and the page now looks like this at the end:

Another idea that came out of the thread is auto-closing issues that only have template text in the description, which I've filed https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/4166 for. (Cutting down the work of manually sorting through these.)

Thanks again for pointing out a potential root cause, @HebaruSan. 😄
