BUG: Checkbox UL (list) markdown parsing is broken. If a normal UL is below or above a Checkbox UL, BOTH are rendered erronously as a Checkbox UL.

Current behaviour

1. Create the following markup:

## Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
- Ut fringilla neque efficitur imperdiet luctus.
- Donec id magna ac nisi iaculis gravida sit amet non orci.
- Praesent semper massa vel elit dapibus mollis.
- Proin sit amet massa mollis, convallis ipsum et, vulputate metus.

- [ ] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
- [ ] Ut fringilla neque efficitur imperdiet luctus.
- [ ] Donec id magna ac nisi iaculis gravida sit amet non orci.
- [ ] Praesent semper massa vel elit dapibus mollis.
- [ ] Proin sit amet massa mollis, convallis ipsum et, vulputate metus.

2. Switch to RTE mode.
3. Observe that both lists are rendered as checkbox lists:

Also if inspected with devtools, you can see that Joplin is treating them both as a single checkbox list:

Expected behaviour

I expected Joplin to render the normal UL section with discs, and the checkbox UL section with check-boxes.

I have attached a zipped jex file that demonstrates the bug:

This is a fairly big rendering and parsing error, hopefully you can reproduce and fix. If you need any help with reproducing the bug I am here and will do my best.

Also, a followup. If you insert an HR between the lists like so:

## Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

- [ ] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
- [ ] Ut fringilla neque efficitur imperdiet luctus.
- [ ] Donec id magna ac nisi iaculis gravida sit amet non orci.
- [ ] Praesent semper massa vel elit dapibus mollis.
- [ ] Proin sit amet massa mollis, convallis ipsum et, vulputate metus.

---

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
- Ut fringilla neque efficitur imperdiet luctus.
- Donec id magna ac nisi iaculis gravida sit amet non orci.
- Praesent semper massa vel elit dapibus mollis.
- Proin sit amet massa mollis, convallis ipsum et, vulputate metus.

It renders correctly:

This is a known limitation of Joplin (see https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/6423#issuecomment-1100917535).
