[eSteem Mobile] 2.0.6 [BUG] Incorrect markdown cursor position on Bold and Italic text in editor
Repository: https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-mobile
Describe the bug
The editor in the mobile version of the eSteem app offers the possibility to insert text via click. When inserting a bold text, the cursor jumps to the end and creates the command ****| which is very difficult to use.
It would be better if the cursor were in the middle of the two asterisks to continue writing. There are two possibilities you can or should change here
1 After clicking on the Bold icon the following is inserted with the cursor position:
**|**to also write a Bold Text2 the first click on the Bold icon will insert the first two asterisks
**|and after writing a text and clicking on the icon again 2 more asterisks**are added to do justice to the markdown.
With variant 2 it already works very well with the code snippet in the editor.
The same as above also happens with italicized text. When inserting an italic text ** is inserted which is also a problem as described above.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Download the Latest Version of eSteem Mobile 2 App for Android
- Go in to the Editor where you can write a Contribution
- Hit the Bold or Italic Text Button to Insert the Markdown for these Text-Styles
- There you see the Problem
Expected behavior
My expectation was that if I wanted to insert a bold or italic text, the markdown would be placed correctly to ensure easy writing in the editor. When inserting the markdown command for code this works very well.
Screenshots or Video
Screen Video of Input in the eSteem Mobile Application
At the eSteem Surfer Application is it working very well
Smartphone (please complete the following information):
- Device: Huawei Mate 10 Pro
- OS: Android 9
- Version 2.0.6 latest
Additional context
In my personal opinion, it would be appropriate to change it like the Code Snippet, which has to be pressed twice on the Bold or Italic button. This is only my own opinion how to solve it best.

Hi @louis,
Thanks for your contribution, I was able to replicate this issue on Android 9.0 on eSteem Mobile 2.0.6.
Your steps to reproduce were easy to understand and the GIF you added made this very easy to figure out, you didn't necessarily need to eSteem Surfer GIF, however, this does help provide some additional context into the issue and what the expected behavior actually is.
Some of your description of the bug should really have been included in the expected behavior rather than the description, only a small issue though.
I'm not sure you're technical background, do you have experience with JS or react? One way I could see you improving your scores considerably by looking into the cause of the issue.
Once again, great to see the project owner acknowledging it prior to contributing to Utopian, this is great practice.
Look forward to more contributions from you soon.
