Obsidian Editor does not automatically pair Markdown syntax for italics and bold text on Obsidian Mobile v1.0.2 when “Auto pair Markdown syntax” Editor setting is enabled.

Steps taken:

  1. Type * in the editor with “Auto pair Markdown syntax” enabled.

Desired result:

  1. *|* appears with cursor between auto-paired asterisks.

Result:

  1. *| appears with cursor after single asterisk.

Also, but unrelated, it would be great if the ⌘+I shortcut respected the “Auto pair” setting; i.e. pressing it once with the setting disabled would produce a single * (so the same shortcut adds another single * to end the emphasis) and pressing it once with the setting enabled would produce *|* with the cursor between the asterisks.
