5 years agoHi Fedup, thanks for letting us know that this issue occurs both in 1Password 7 and 1Password 8. This does sound like a rather strange issue to run into!
Given that this issue occurs in both 1Password 7 and 1Password 8, it's likely that this has to do with hidden characters, which can affect how text is presented on-screen. As @"jack.platten" mentioned, 1Password 8 uses Markdown formatting, but 1Password 7 doesn't - leaving hidden characters as the major possibility to explain what you've been seeing so far.
Quick question: was this text, which is appearing in bold in 1Password, copied from some other source? That might be a way that hidden characters could end up in the formatting of this text.
If you'd like to look into this a little further, there are some apps that can present hidden characters to the end user. VS Code is one of them: https://code.visualstudio.com/
This VSCode extension can be helpful too: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wengerk.highlight-bad-chars
I hope this provides a helpful next step. We can understand the need for proper formatting, and hopefully this helps shed some light on what might be going on here. Does this sound like it makes sense according to what you've seen? We'll look forward to hearing from you!
