Bold does not close in live preview or source mode

[Arahada]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Obsidian and set the editor mode to Live Preview or Source mode.
2. Type a string that includes ending punctuation (e.g., single quotes ', double quotes ", or parentheses )).
3. Wrap the string with bold syntax (**).
4. Type any character immediately after the closing ** tag without a space.
   • Example: **"Text"**s

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Confirmed to be a bug reproduced in Sandbox Vault

Expected Result

• Only the text inside the ** tags should be rendered in bold.
• The text immediately following the closing ** tag should be rendered in normal weight.

Actual Result

• The closing ** tag is not correctly recognized.
• The bold formatting fails to close and “bleeds” into the suffix and the subsequent text.

Environment

• Operating system: window 11
• Obsidian version: 1.10.3
