Issue Summary

When using the smart value function issue.comments.last.body.html, in specific situations the system does not convert the asterisk symbol to the HTML tag <b>.

This is reproducible on the Data Center: yes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a simple automation with an Issue commented trigger
2. Add a log action component with the issue.comments.last.body.html function
3. Comment on any issue using the markup bolder symbol "*" surrounding the whole text, i.e.: bold word. This will be converted to <b>bold word</b>.
4. Now, bold just a part of the text, ie: partially bold. This is not being correctly converted and the audit log is showing that the function doesn't recognize the asterisk in the middle of the text: par*<b>tially*</b> bold
