Hi Ryan,
I can not use "*" as first char on existing paragraph in the editor.
When I type "*" before the first letter of an existing paragraph and then press Space (with space bar), the "*" disapear.
Eg. : Existing paragraph is :
This is a sample blog posting.
When I type a "*" it become :
*This is a sample blog posting.
But if I make a Space (with space bar) between "*" and "T" it become
This is a sample blog posting.
instead of :
* This is a sample blog posting.
Using CTRL+V of "*" + "space" works well.
Tested on demo website.
