Unordered lists are sometimes broken

Question

Unordered lists don't always work.

For example, this is what I entered in the description for a task in Jira:

And here's how it is rendered - notice the bullet item that begins with "Make sure..."

And this is not an isolated case.  It happens with annoying frequency.  I haven't been able to figure out what it is in the text that triggers the issue.

No, it's not pasted in... just typed.  And every other time it has happened, it was typed, not pasted, as well.

As I said, I haven't figured out what is triggering it, so if I create a new task with the intent to replicate it, I probably won't be able to.

I'm not sure about the "new editor".  I know there's an option for a new editor (or format or something) in Confluence, and I chose not to switch to the new version - I didn't really care for it.

I don't remember any sort of option (to switch to new or stay on old) in Jira, and I'm not sure how I would select one or the other.  If you are able to select an "old" editor, you might try to replicate it there.

is that pasted in text or typed? I was trying to reproduce but w/ the new editor I cannot easily replicate.
