Possible Markdown list shortcut bug

There appears to be a bug with the "Toggle List Type" ⌃⌘L when the list is directly below a header. If the list is directly below a header, it will toggle to the bulleted list type, but not to the numbered list type. If you place a space between the header and the list, it's fine.

To demonstrate, I made a short video: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3950369/blog_images/MMD2%20report.mov

Severity: minor

   I'll look and see what I can do. But the bigger issue is that it is generally not good practice to leave out the blank line before and after a header. Different implementations of Markdown handle this differently. You'll likely find other issues cropping up down the road if you do this habitually (whether with MMD or other Markdown converters.)

   Thanks for submitting! (And thanks for the video --- it's so helpful when people send these to show me exactly what happens.)

   I had a guilty, bad feeling that this was bad syntax.

   Maybe I should just use bold text for my note section headers rather than true H1, H2, H3. Markdown in general likes to use more white space than I do. =)

   I would recommend using headers. When I work on "standardizing" an approach to using Markdown/MMD for medical information, that's how it will work. Headers have semantic meaning in this case. Bold really wouldn't.

   LOL. I might have been trying to bait you a little there. I think it'd be awesome to see something like that. Akin to Fountain for Hollywood.

   As far as my formatting issues, it's nothing I shouldn't be able to change in CSS.

   I think this is fixed for the next release.
