When setting a Custom Status in RocketChat, I am experiencing unexpected behavior with markdown formatting for bold text. Traditionally, in message fields, wrapping a word in asterisks (*) makes it bold, and wrapping it in underscores (_) makes it italic. However, this expected behavior is not consistent when applying the same formats in Custom Status.
Steps to reproduce:
Go to 'Profile' and select 'Custom Status'.
In the Custom Status field, try to format a word as bold by wrapping it in single asterisks (*) - expecting the word to appear bold.
For italic text, wrap a word in underscores (_) and observe the formatting.
Expected behavior:
Text wrapped in asterisks (*) should appear bold.
Text wrapped in underscores (_) should appear italic.
Actual behavior:
Text wrapped in single asterisks (*) unexpectedly appears as italic instead of bold.
Text wrapped in underscores (_) correctly appears as italic.
Strikethrough formatting works as expected when text is wrapped in tildes (~).
Text only becomes bold when wrapped in double underscores (__).
