Can you share the event sources? It's probably because we're handling the HTML in a bad way, but we need to confirm it's not caused by some other markdown/plaintext -> HTML conversion issue.

Sure, here you go:

{
  "content": {
    "body": "* aaa\n  * bbb\n  * ccc\n  * ddd\n    * eee\n    * fff\n    * ggg\n  * hhh\n* iii\n  * jjj\n  * kkk\n* lll",
    "format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
    "formatted_body": "<ul><li>aaa<ul><li>bbb<\/li><li>ccc<\/li><li>ddd<ul><li>eee<\/li><li>fff<\/li><li>ggg<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>hhh<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>iii<ul><li>jjj<\/li><li>kkk<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>lll<\/li><\/ul>",
    "msgtype": "m.text"
  },
  "event_id": "$Z9ra_6F-VwRCI0weYsc6lnOa6etJNnsqfbY5SPzKzPg",
  "origin_server_ts": 1743615220499,
  "room_id": "!RKPUkCphPShscMQtzV:blacher.xyz",
  "sender": "@bblacher:blacher.xyz",
  "type": "m.room.message",
  "unsigned": {
    "age": 3079,
    "membership": "join"
  }
}

Interesting, the UI preview displays the nested list being rendered properly:

However, in a real device it happens what you uploaded above: the leading margin is applied only to the text, not to the bullet item too.

Thanks for the report, we'll have to debug why this is happening, I think there might have been some regression either in one of our changes or an Android/Compose one.

Thanks for fixing this so quickly :)
