Copying output from chat window into a Google doc is unreliable

I have the following text from the chat window:

  • Exponential gating: Improves LSTM’s ability to revise stored information.

When copied / pasted into a Google doc, this sometimes happens.

E Improves LSTM’s ability to revise stored information.

The first word disappears. As far as I can tell it is has something to do with the inner syntax for bold face words that start with * * and ends with * *
