Markdown highlighting not working directly after an HTML tag

[MangelMaxime]

• VSCode Version: 1.52.0
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In a markdown file write:

<div></div>
# Title

<div></div>
**test**

2. See that the title and the bold text are not highlighted.

To fix this problem, the user can add an empty line:

But when using an extension which adds an anchor to titles for generating Table of Content, for example, we don't always have the control of where the HTML elements are being added.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

This matches how the markdown is rendered:

Github has the same behavior:

Title

test

Sorry @mjbvz, when reporting the issue I changed the HTML element used compared to my code because I thought it was the same for all of them.

The code I used in my application is actually using anchor HTML element.

<a href="dzdz"></a>
# Title

<a href="dzdz"></a>
**test**

I just checked on VSCode and Github the markdown is being rendered correctly.

GitHub demo:

Title

test

I guess there is a special case for the anchor element here.

This is still a bug today. Note that the last line beginning with *Pushed... does not have Markdown highlighting applied:
