Import from Joplin loses checkbox lists #8766

What happened?

UPDATE: I referenced the Notesnook importer as the first place I found this problem, but it is not limited to the importer. The same behavior occurs when I copy and paste markdown into a new note.

I imported my Joplin notes from a JEX export, and it randomly drops checkbox list items Any checkbox list item that has highlighted text (using markdown "==") gets completely dropped. Also, if there is a blank line between two checkboxes on a list, it will delete the text associated with the checkbox.

I initially thought it was just an import problem, but the issues does not appear to be just occurring when importing. I manually copied the markdown from a Joplin note into Notesnook, and none of the checkbox list items with highlighted text copied into the new note.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Test 1: Create a new note and paste the following markdown to the note:

- [x] Test line 1
- [ ] Test line 2 ==Highlighted text==

The result will be that only the first "Test line 1" checkbox item will show up.

Test 2: Create a new note and paste the following markdown to the note:

- [ ] Test line 1

- [ ] Test line 2

- [ ] Test line 3
- [ ] Test line 4
- [ ] Test line 5

The result will be a blank list (checkboxes but no text)
