Additional information

I first encountered a similar issue when I was developing a plugin, and I posted a question in the developers category.
I believe this bug share the same root cause as the problem that I described in the original thread:

If we add some line after the heading, then it works as expected, and this phenomenon was also observed in the linked thread.

thanks. I can reproduce this only if the heading is the last line of the note.

will be fixed v1.9. No ETAs
