This occurs in the Help Vault as well. When you’ve got Live Preview mode on, the punctuation marks (periods, commas, etc.) sometimes get pushed to the next line, if the word that is bold or highlit is at the end of the previous line.
Normally you’d expect the comma or period to be part of that previous line because there’s no space. I assume the live preview and the switching back and forth between showing the asterisks or equal signs mess with that.

Steps to reproduce

  1. have word that is “modified” through bold or italics or highlighting
  2. have that word at the end of a line, followed by a punctuation mark . or ,
  3. see that that symbol gets pushed to the next line.
  4. when you click on the word, the symbols (* or =) are shown and then the whole is usually moved to the next line.
  5. when you click out of that word, those symbols disappear, and the word moves up a line, but the punctuation mark stays on that line.

Expected result

punctuation mark should remain with the previous word in previous line

Actual result

punctuation mark is on its own in the next line

Steps to reproduce

  1. Write a text that’s long enough so it breaks in multiple lines.
  2. Put a comma in a word near the end of one line.
  3. Set the comma’s preceding word to italics.

Expected result

The comma should appear in the first line, or move the word (in italics) and the comma to the following line.

Actual result

The comma appears alone in a new line, like this:

I’ve noticed it also occurs when a bracket is followed by a math formula:
