Steps to reproduce
- Activate vim mode in the Editor preferences.
- Type
**bold**on a line. - Keep the cursor on the line, in normal mode.
- Try to remove all stars with the command
:s/\*//g.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Yes (observed in the Sandbox vault).
Expected result
In vim, the above removes all stars (as expected from the “global” flag /g).
Actual result
In Obsidian, only the first star is removed from each group, and we get *bold*.

Additional information
I checked on CodeMirror that their vim editor works correctly, and it does (both with their version 5 and their version 6): this appears to be an Obsidian specific bug.
