Text bullets have a mind of their own

It seems Figma can’t decide whether it uses bullet characters (bad choice IMO) or real bullets, see for yourself:

If I start typing in the last line it converts the bullet char into a circular bullet, but I can’t fix the one in the second line. Sometimes even the bullet size is different. Look here: https://www.figma.com/file/k9PMkUzg426JX3nJjtkfE4/Buggy-bullets

@Rubem_Pechansky Thanks for your feedback here!
Bullets should now behave as expected and not become bold or colored when the text does!

I was expecting at least some feedback from the Figma guys, this looks like a bug to me.

Seems I’m still talking to myself… Anyway, there’s also this: Bullets are bold if the text is bold. That’s not how bullets should work IMO.

    I’m with you here. Bullets aren’t useful in their current iteration. There is no control over the bullets themselves.

    Not to mention, they should Auto-Convert to a bullet everytime i type “1.space” And then when I turn off the bullet, it removes the “1.” It’s an endless cycle of not being able to turn them off, and keep my number.

      I recently ran into the issue where Figma decides to colorize a bullet because of nearby text color; but then sticks stubbornly to that color no matter what I do with the text.

      It will help people to know that you have to really watch your selection, otherwise bullet color will change when you change whatever text you select.
