Description

Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geelong_Performing_Arts_Centre&oldid=654290433&veaction=edit&vesection=5
Place the cursor before the first character of the "Alcoa Studio" bullet point.
Type Text before .
Select the text Alcoa Studio: 20.5m.
Press Ctrl+B.

Text before gets un-bolded. That's not a sensible behaviour.
