Bullets disappear when I add color to some text

Hello, 

I have a bulleted list and within the text of each bullet, I have links. They default to black and bold and I would like to change those links to the standard blue color. When I highlight the link and change the text color, the bullet disappears (the indent stays fine). Any ideas?

 

I took a screenshot to show you what I mean - when I added the blue color to that text the bullet disappears:

Hello @DanaM5 ,

 

This is an issue our devs are aware of, and are working on. However, at this time there isn't really a good fix for it beyond either just:

  • not using bullets at all, or
  • having everything colored exactly as you want beforehand, then turning them from regular sentences in a paragraph to individual bullets

Un-bulleting and re-bulleting the line won't fix the issue, unfortunately, as there's already background coding affecting it. You can try backspacing the text until it's part of another paragraph, as we've seen that being a quick-fix occasionally. The next workaround would be removing your text altogether, pasting it into a plaint-text program (.e.g. Notepad) then pasting back into your program for formatting then bulleting.
