This is a known limitation. A piece of text can not be a link and bold
at the same time. So the link breaks the formatting.

This is planned to be fixed in future versions, but may take some time.

I think this is a different bug, please open a separate ticket.

Also I can not reproduce this, so may need a more detailed example in
the new ticket.
