Steps to Reproduce

Assumes you are already in Github Markdown mode.

1. Write a string, ex. "Hello World"
2. Attempt to make the letters bold that are either at the start of the line of have a space in front of it. However this does not occur when the following character is a space. ex. "**Hel**lo World", or "Hello **Wor**ld"
3. Case 1: "**Hel**lo World" --> lo World will be in Orange, which should not be the case.
   "Hello **Wor**ld" --> ld and any following text will be in Orange, which should not be the case.

Additional Information

If someone can think of a better title for the issue, feel free to suggest it. Brain can't think of any better way of describing it.

Also this case does not seem to register anything as orange.

I presume this is a regex issue. I'd be willing to look into it if someone can point me in the direction of wherever the code is located for Regex stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute!

We noticed that this looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/atom/language-gfm/issues/117. You may want to subscribe there for updates. That's also the repository that handles GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax highlighting if you want to take a look.

Because we treat our issues list as the Atom team's backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn't an exact duplicate but is closely related.

For information on how to use GitHub's search feature to find out if something is a duplicate before filing, see the How Can I Contribute? section of the Atom CONTRIBUTING guide.

In addition, you're using an unofficial distribution of Atom. I would highly recommend uninstalling it and redownloading Atom from https://atom.io. See https://github.com/atom/design-decisions/blob/master/unofficial-atom-distributions.md for more information.
