No bold internal or wiki links in read view

If I bold a wiki link like this: **[[link]]** or an internal markdown link like this **[link](Link%20notes.md)** it will show up as bold in editor mode, but not in read mode. This does not apply to external links such as **[link](https://obsidian.md)**

Steps to reproduce

  1. open sandbox vault
  2. while in editor mode:
  3. bold a wiki link on the start page, such as **[[No prior experience|I have no prior experience]]**
  4. bold an external link on the start page, such as **[Obsidian documentation](https://help.obsidian.md/)**
  5. bold an internal markdown link, such as **[link](Link%20notes.md)**
  6. confirm that this makes all the link look bold in editor mode
  7. switch to read mode

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

Yes, I tried this in the sandbox vault, as well as in my main vault with all CSS snippets disabled and community plugins disabled via restricted mode. It always led to the same behavior.

Expected result

All three links are now bolded in read mode (and therefore look the same as in editor mode).

Actual result

Only the external link (step 4) appears bold in read mode. The wiki link (step 3) and internal markdown link (step 5) do not appear in bold (they look like otherwise unformatted, normal links).

Additional information

My Android Obsidian is still on 1.10.5 (256), and there these links are properly bolded. So I’m assuming the bug is recent (maybe Catalyst version specific?).

Can confirm:

source mode | live preview | reading view (v1.10.6) →

source mode | live preview | reading view (v1.11.1) →


In v1.10.6, the strong a rule is correctly applied:

In v1.11.1, it looks like

.markdown-rendered .internal-link {
  font-weight: var:(--link-weight):
} 

was added and is canceling out the strong a below it:

will be fixed 1.11.2. No ETAs.
