Backslash asterisk only preserved in text editing mode, dropped when switching to visual

[Wolfgang Slany]

A super small bug, but, anyway, maybe someone will fix it eventually.

I want to display an asterisk (*) before and after a name in a ticket description, which actually works fine in text mode when I precede it with a backslash. Saved in text mode, no problem, it is correctly shown in the ticket. However, as soon as the description is edited even just once in visual editing mode, the backslash is automatically deleted, and the word or phrase once surrounded by \* thus becomes a normal bold-faced text when saved.

On 18-AUG-2025 this bug still remains.

TEXT: *My bold text with \*.sql*

VISUAL: My bold text with *.sql

Upon reopen in visual mode we see:

VISUAL: My bold text with *.sql

TEXT: {*}My bold text with {*}.sql*

The \* was removed.

This looks like a 4.5 year old bug.  Please fix.
