Thank for the feedback! You may be surprised to learn this isn’t a bug, but comes from the CommonMark markdown spec for “loose” lists (lists with internal newlines):

https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#loose https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-spec/issues/628

Deepdwn isn’t 100% CommonMark compliant (especially in the editor), but much of the markdown preview is.

Hope that helps!

[edit] Common ways to handle this if you want to separate two lists of the same type without treating it as one ‘loose’ list would be:

Use different markers for the two lists:

* list 1 item 1
* list 1 item 2

+ list 2 item 1
+ list 2 item 2

- list 3 item 1
- list 3 item 2

1. Ordered list 1 item 1
2. Ordered list 1 item 2

3) Ordered list 2 item 1
4) Ordered list 2 item 2

or

Add a separator

* list 1 item 1
* list 1 item 2

<!-- -->

* list 2 item 1
* list 2 item 2
