Bold with dot inside is making the following text bold

Bug reports
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new Note
  2. Write two lines
subdomain.example.com
another.example.com
  1. Now make the ‘subdomain.’ bold
**subdomain.**example.com
another.example.com
  1. In Editing mode, you will see the next line got bold too
  2. If you unbold the text, you will see this:
subdomain.**example.com
another.example.com

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

Expected result

  • Only the ‘subdomain.’ portion should be bold, not the text thereafter
  • Only the ‘subdomain.’ portion should be unbold, but it remains two asterisk at the end

Expected behavior can be easily checked with

**bold**Text
secondLine

This should work fine

Actual result

Additional information

I tried even in Sandbox Vault, it’s behaving the same.

Indeed, this appears to be a quirck in the parsing of markdown formatting in editing mode, which I also do not understand. A workaround would be to terminate the bold formatting before the dot, i.e. **subdomain**.example.com
