If I mark something and press ctrl-b it’ll be bolded. If I press ctrl-b again right away, it’ll be unbolded. However, if I write some text, mark it, press ctrl-b and then continue writing, I can not come back to this text, mark it, and press ctrl-b to undo the bold. Instead it’ll just add additional asterisks.
