Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write an argument description in JSDocs with the markdown (bold in my case)

/**
* **Generates string with greeting**
* @param {string} username **Username** for the greeting.
*/
function greeting(username: string) {
  return `Hello, ${username}!`;
}

2. Hover over an argument name OR type the code to trigger the description tooltip

ℹ️	To note!
1	The behavior below occurs only if the description starts with bold formatting.
2	This only occurs with the asterisk (*) bold formatting.

Excepted Result: Username for the greeting.

Actual Result: Username* for the greeting.

Example from my code (screenshot)

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

Here's the quickInfo response we get:

[Trace  - 4:17:46 PM] Response received: quickinfo (21). Request took 2 ms. Success: true 
Result: {
    "kind": "function",
    "kindModifiers": "",
    "start": {
        "line": 5,
        "offset": 10
    },
    "end": {
        "line": 5,
        "offset": 18
    },
    "displayString": "function greeting(username: string): string",
    "documentation": "**Generates string with greeting**",
    "tags": [
        {
            "name": "param",
            "text": "username *Username** for the greeting."
        }
    ]
}

Looks like one of the * before Username is lost
