Not sure what the preferred forum is for pointing out bugs so I also posted this to uservoice - sorry for the duplication.
When adding new items to a list via Checkvist mobile, Markdown does not render correctly in certain cases in which formatting symbols precede all text.
For example:
**new item**
should render as
new item
but instead drops the opening tag and renders as
new item**
# New item
should render as
New item
but instead renders as plain text
New item
However
new **item**
renders as expected (new item)
(This behavior occurs using Checkvist Mobile on Android)
