Can you please verify this, @DonJayamanne ?

Might be. Conversion of Python docs to markdown is a bit tricky.

With the new language server we only have the value str, hence not a problem there.
However this is a problem when using the jedi language server.
Will confirm whether this is an issue with Jedi or our implementation.

Confirmed, its a bug in the extension.

It seems it's been fixed a while ago, so closing it.
