Bolding before a Dash causes formatting errors

[Edward]

This problem occurs when I paste things into the edit window using IE. I make a list, bold the first few words, put a dash after them and leave the rest as a continuing sentence. Everything looks good in wysiwyg and in wikitext. However, after I save it, everything goes wrong in the formatting. Please see attached picture for an example.

After I manually go back and correct it in the wikitext, it seems to be okay.

This doesn't seem to happen when I use a colon after the bolded words. It only occurs after the dash is used.

I use: MediaWiki: 1.11.2 PHP: 5.2.5 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL: 5.0.45-log

I think I found a more accurate reason for this bug. When using the wysiwyg editor I erased an existing "dash" and replaced it with a colon. I believe what happened is that in doing this I deleted some of the "" in the wikitext. After saving FCKeditor must have added the missing ""; however, it added it in the wrong places.

So it might not be the dash but the editing process.

Please check the latest version of Mediawiki extension, a couple of things has been fixed recently.

If possible, please provide an example of a text that is incorrectly parsed so that I could just copy/paste it to reproduce this bug. Use code block tags: {{{ example }}} to surround text, i.e:

Thanks in advance.
