Formatting mangled when placing heading in bulleted list

Bug Description

Running zim on Windows, installed from the main download on the website.

I have noticed a problem in that if I am inside a bulleted list, and add a heading to a level (as I like to do to highlight a certain line with a low-level heading), the output is not as expected. The program actually behaves as expected, but then the next time the note is opened (switching to another note and coming back is enough to prompt it), there are multiple blank lines above and below my heading. I've included a screenshot of this behavior in case it is not clear.

Is this just an incompatibility between headings an bullets? If so, I wonder if there is any other effective way to highlight some text within a list (I like that the headings show up in a different color).

I consider the "before" screenshot the real bug. Intended design is that it
will immediately show the "after" version when you format a line as a
heading. For highlighting you should use either bold or italic formatting
options.
