Description
If you select a line of text including the newline, the asterisks are incorrectly placed after the newline. If the brackets indicate the selection:
[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
]
Macdown transforms the text to:
*Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
*

Research direction
Reproduce the selection behavior in MacDown by selecting a line together with its newline and applying bold or italic formatting. The work is done when the formatting markers remain on the selected line instead of placing the closing marker after an extra newline; the payload names no source file or test to start from.
