This is working as expected, this is how the data in a file gets serialized into the stored config map.

It is hard to edit this using oc edit.  We should consider whether there is an easier way to let someone edit the content of a particular key in a config map. But that would be an RFE for a new command.

Alternatively you can use oc extract to get the content back out in its original format.

We are also working on support for config maps in the management console which will provide a generally easier editing experience for config maps

This is getting formatted as a double quoted scalar instead of a literal scalar (http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2760844). It is the gopkg.in/yaml.v2 library that is doing it. Not sure exactly why, but I'd guess there's something about the content of this particular file that requires the output use double quotes.

This bug has been identified as a dated (created more than 3 months ago) bug. 
This bug has been triaged (has a trello card linked to it), or reviewed by Engineering/PM and has been put into the product backlog, 
however this bug has not been slated for a currently planned release (3.9, 3.10 or 3.11), which cover our releases for the rest of the calendar year. 

As a result of this bugs age, state on the current roadmap and PM Score (being below 70), this bug is being Closed - Differed, 
as it is currently not part of the products immediate priorities.
