Bolding weird on iPad

Steps to reproduce

  1. While editing an item, select a word, and hit Ctrl-B.
  2. Observe the selection looks bolded—yay!
  3. Observe it’s a little weird that there are no delimiting **, but maybe that’s because the wonderful Dynalist team is prototyping WYIWYG on mobile.
  4. Start editing a different item.

Expected result

The text selected earlier stays bolder.

Actual result

The text does not look bolded anymore. If you click the item again to un-render it, then the text does appear bolded.

Environment

Dynalist app on iPad. Probably has to do with iOS and the native text formatting tools built-in, because I see little B/I icons in the keyboard while editing on Dynalist.
