Thanks for clarifying that for us K10MD
You haven't mentioned if this persists after clearing your browser's cache or when using another browser - could you give it a go and let us know if this persists?
If it does, could you try selecting the blank space where you want to type in the doc and toggle off/on the bullet list and try again?
