Hello nobu,

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is present in master. 

Please note: identification of parentheses is done by making them bold. In case all symbols are bold identification cannot be detected.

Although, I wouldn't say this is a bug, but maybe there can be a change to make it easier to identify the parentheses.

I can confirm the behavior, but I'm not sure it is a bug. Potentially something the UX team can look at regarding being able to identify parentheses when text is already bold.
